Shortlist Daisy when recording and transcribing meetings privately on a mac without cloud upload matters most, and Koncert when managers coaching reps from recorded calls and a remote salesfloor matters most. Run both through a week of actual calls to see which suits your workflow.

Daisy, from Addicted Studio, is a local-first meeting recorder and AI notes application for macOS that records meetings on the Mac, transcribes them on the device, and then exposes the captured conversations as a local MCP server for AI tools. It captures both microphone and system audio from any source, including Zoom, Google Meet, Telegram, and other apps, using ScreenCaptureKit, and performs on-device transcription with WhisperKit plus speaker identification via Pyannote diarization, so audio never leaves the Mac unless the user explicitly enables a cloud LLM provider. Beyond raw transcription, Daisy generates structured notes with action items and follow-ups and supports multiple summarization backends including Apple Intelligence, Anthropic, and OpenAI, as well as MCP. Because it runs a local MCP server, tools such as Claude Desktop and Cursor can read recorded meetings directly, and Daisy can export results to Notion, Linear, Attio, Slack, or arbitrary webhooks. It offers several capture modes covering meeting recording, voice dictation, and quick voice notes. Daisy is a native Mac application (not Electron) for Apple Silicon, is fully open source on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license, and emphasizes privacy with no telemetry, tracking, or required account. The project maintains a product site at mydaisy.io with installation, FAQ, and support documentation. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.

Koncert is a B2B sales engagement platform built around AI-powered dialing, call recording, and coaching for outbound teams. Its dialer suite includes options such as an AI Parallel Dialer and an AI Flow Dialer that filter voicemails and connect reps to live answers to increase connected conversations and connect rates. Calls are recorded and run through conversation intelligence that scans for objections and other signals so managers can coach reps at scale, and a remote Salesfloor gives managers a virtual workspace for real-time coaching during calls. Koncert also includes a multi-channel cadence sequencer spanning phone, email, video, text, and social, plus caller ID management that selects local numbers and monitors number health. For practice and training, Koncert offers AI PitchLab, an add-on where reps rehearse pitches against AI-powered buyer personas without the pressure of a live prospect, with objection-handling practice and automatic transcription and scoring of performance. Together these capabilities target outbound sales teams, SDRs, and managers who want dialing, real-call analysis, and structured roleplay practice within one platform. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
