Overview
Prismical is a desktop app for recording meetings, lectures, and voice notes, transcribing them locally with whisper.cpp, and organizing the result in rich-text notes with AI skills and optional cloud synchronization.
Features and best fit
Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:
Keep recording, transcription, and notes local in Local mode
No account is required; notes live in SQLite and whisper.cpp performs transcription on the device.

Connect AI skills to your own provider or Ollama
Enhance, cleanup, naming, Q&A, and custom skills can use OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible APIs or a local runtime.

For meeting notes without inviting an external bot into calls
It suits users who want recording and transcription handled by the desktop app itself.

Choose Local versus Cloud mode with the data boundary in mind
Switching modes resets local data and there is no migration between the two. Cloud-only collaboration capabilities should be evaluated separately.

Supplemental curator note
In local mode, Prismical requires no account, stores notes in SQLite, and can record and transcribe on-device. Cloud mode adds sync, sharing, organizations, calendar features, and true speaker diarization. Switching modes resets local data and there is currently no migration between them.
