Getting Started

Markdrip is a private, local-first meeting-notes app. It captures your microphone (and, optionally, system audio), transcribes speech on-device, and stores the result as Markdown in a vault on your own disk. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Install

Section titled “Install”

Download the latest signed build for your platform from the releases page and open it like any other desktop app. There is no account to create and no sign-in step — Markdrip works fully offline from first launch.

First recording

Section titled “First recording”
  1. Open Markdrip and grant microphone (and, if you want system audio, screen-recording) permission when prompted.
  2. Click Record to start capturing a meeting.
  3. Click Stop when the meeting ends. Markdrip transcribes the audio on-device and saves a new Markdown note into your vault.
  4. Open the note from the sidebar to read the transcript, edit segments, or tag speakers.

For a more detailed first-meeting walkthrough, see Record your first meeting.

Where your data lives

Section titled “Where your data lives”

Every note is a plain Markdown file inside your vault folder, readable and editable outside of Markdrip. See Configuration to change the vault location, and Privacy for the full guarantee of what never leaves your device.
