IndexOne

Local-first meeting notes for macOS, with Ivy. IndexOne records your calls, transcribes them on your Mac, writes a structured note you own as plain Markdown, and lets you ask Ivy questions — during the meeting and across everything you have ever recorded.

This repository

IndexOne's public home. The app's source code is not public and is not here.

Path	What it is
Releases	The signed, notarized DMG of every release, with its notes
release-notes/	The same release notes, as Markdown
app/, i18n/, public/, server/	The website at index-one.io — Nuxt, statically generated
docs/use-with-your-agent.md	Using IndexOne with your own AI agent

Issues and Discussions	Bug reports, ideas and questions

What IndexOne does

1. Record — press Record (or ⌘⇧R from any app). Your microphone and the other side's audio are captured as two streams.
2. Transcribe — both streams are transcribed on your Mac with Whisper and merged into one Me / Others transcript. There is no cloud transcription.
3. Write the note — when you stop, the AI you chose writes a summary, decisions, action items and quotes. Each grounded line links back to the second of audio it came from.
4. Ask Ivy — mid-meeting without stopping the recording, or months later across every meeting, note and document. Every answer lists its sources.

Also included: Workspaces (one tree for recordings, notes, tasks and boards), composable dashboards, offline imports from Notion, Obsidian and Apple Notes, a Markdown editor with Ivy actions, documents (PDF, Office, web pages, images) indexed next to your meetings, and optional end-to-end encrypted sharing through Shared Ivy.

Where Ivy runs is your choice:

Connection	Where it runs	Does meeting text leave your Mac?
On-device Ivy (Qwen3 or Bielik, downloaded once)	Your Mac	No
Ollama at a local address	Your Mac	No
Claude Code (default note writer), Codex	Local CLI → provider	Only after consent; redacted first
Anthropic API (your key, in the Keychain), Kong or another OpenAI-compatible gateway	Direct HTTPS	Only after consent; redacted first

The full feature list is on index-one.io and in the documentation.

Install

1. Download IndexOne-<version>.dmg from the latest release.
2. Open the DMG and drag IndexOne into Applications.
3. Open it from Applications and confirm Open when macOS asks.

Every release is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized, with the ticket stapled to the DMG. If macOS says the app "cannot be opened" or "is damaged", don't work around it: delete the file, download it again, and open an issue if it happens again.

spctl -a -vvv -t open --context context:primary-signature ~/Downloads/IndexOne-<version>.dmg
xcrun stapler validate ~/Downloads/IndexOne-<version>.dmg
codesign -dv --verbose=2 "/Applications/IndexOne.app" 2>&1 | grep -E "Authority|TeamIdentifier"

Expect accepted and source=Notarized Developer ID; the TeamIdentifier should read BVF778E5QD. Each release also carries SHA256SUMS.txt — run shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.txt in the download folder.

Permissions. macOS asks for each one the first time it is needed: Microphone and Screen & System Audio Recording (first recording — audio only, never your screen), Calendars, Reminders, Automation → Notes (Apple Notes import) and Touch ID (unlocking a locked folder). Details: Your first recording.

Updates. At launch the app asks GitHub whether a newer release exists; the request carries only the app version. Turn it off in Settings → Privacy & Integrations. The app never installs anything by itself — download the new DMG and replace the old copy; your library stays put. Versions 2.8.0 and earlier can no longer reach the update check: download the latest release once.

Privacy in one table

Recording, transcription, search and on-device Ivy work with no network connection.

What can leave your Mac	When	Where it goes
Update check — the app version, no content, no account	At launch (can be turned off)	api.github.com
Model downloads — nothing about you	Only when you start one	Hugging Face
Redacted meeting text	Only with a cloud AI connection and one-time consent	The provider you chose
Redacted connector queries	Only for connectors you enabled	That service
Encrypted notes, summaries and tasks	Only when you share, with an account	The sharing relay (ciphertext only)

The database is encrypted with SQLCipher. Any Workspace or folder can also be locked with AES-256-GCM under a key only Touch ID or your login password releases; a locked folder is invisible to the app, search, the graph, MCP and the audio player until unlocked.

Obsidian, MCP and your own agent

• Obsidian — pick a vault folder and every note is written there as plain Markdown with YAML front-matter, [[wikilinks]], obsidian:// block references and an optional .canvas board.

• MCP — a read-only Model Context Protocol server on 127.0.0.1:8765, loopback-only and protected by a bearer token. Copy the real config, token included, from Settings → Privacy & Integrations → Local server for Claude → Copy config:

  {
    "mcpServers": {
      "index-one": {
        "type": "http",
        "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8765",
        "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <your-token>" }
      }
    }
  }

Where your data lives

What	Where
Library, recordings, models, logs	~/Library/Application Support/MeetNotes/
Encryption and API keys	macOS Keychain, items named com.meetnotes.app
Exported notes	The vault folder you chose

The folder keeps the app's original internal name. Don't rename it, or the app starts with an empty library.

Uninstall

1. Quit IndexOne and move /Applications/IndexOne.app to the Trash. Your library stays.
2. To remove your data too, delete ~/Library/Application Support/MeetNotes/ — this permanently deletes every recording, transcript and note, locked folders included — then delete the com.meetnotes.app items in Keychain Access.
3. Optional: tccutil reset All com.meetnotes.app clears the macOS permissions.

A sharing account is not deleted by uninstalling; see SUPPORT.md.

Working on the website

The website is a Nuxt 4 app in TypeScript with Nuxt UI, Nuxt i18n and SCSS, generated to static HTML so every word is in the served markup. It is published in English (/), Polish (/pl/), Spanish (/es/), Italian (/it/), French (/fr/), Portuguese (/pt/), German (/de/), Simplified Chinese (/zh/) and Japanese (/ja/); the first visit follows the browser's language and the choice is kept in a first-party cookie. The colour mode follows the system until the visitor picks one.

npm ci
npm run dev        # http://localhost:3000
npm run generate   # static output in .output/public
npm run typecheck

Path	What it holds
i18n/content/	All page copy, one typed file per language (en.ts is the source; types.ts keeps the others complete)
app/data/	What doesn't get translated: links, icons, screenshots, the comparison's yes/no values
app/components/	One component per section
app/assets/scss/	Fonts, the Studio / Paper / Minimalist skins and base styles
app/composables/usePageSeo.ts	Meta tags, Open Graph and JSON-LD; hreflang and canonical come from Nuxt i18n
server/routes/sitemap.xml.ts	The sitemap, with every language as an alternate
public/	Static files served as they are: docs.html (English only), screenshots, fonts, icons, robots.txt, CNAME

The site makes no third-party requests: fonts and icons are bundled, and there is no analytics. CI (site-check.yml) builds the site and refuses external assets, data: URIs and missing SEO tags; pages.yml deploys main to GitHub Pages. npm install also wires git hooks that check branch names and commit messages (Conventional Commits, no AI attribution). Runbooks for people and coding agents are in AGENTS.md and .agents/skills/. Read CONTRIBUTING.md before opening a pull request.

Support

• Docs first: index-one.io/docs.html.
• Bug: open a bug report with your app version (Settings → About), macOS version and Mac type.
• Idea: suggest a feature.
• Question: Discussions.
• Security issue: don't open a public issue — use private vulnerability reporting. See SECURITY.md.

Issues and Discussions are public. Never paste transcripts, notes, meeting titles, attendee names, audio, API keys or your MCP token, and don't attach the diagnostics bundle — it can contain file paths that include your macOS user name. More in SUPPORT.md.
