CLUSTER BAR-MEETINGS-MENU · 13 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-03

Meeting transcription menu bar apps

This cluster consists of macOS menu-bar apps that record meetings, transcribe audio locally, and often produce summaries, decisions, or action items; some statements also add separate microphone/system-audio tracks and JSON interfaces for AI agents. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from: there are 0 dated entries before the index start, so it predates the index or its members are undated. By activity signal, reprise leads with 3 stars, followed by ultra-meet-v2 and personal-audio-transcriber with 1 star each.

Entry timeline

ENTRY TIMELINE

SEP 2026OCT 2026

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
