Reline

Reline is a desktop app that turns your meetings into searchable, actionable notes — without requiring a bot to join your call. It captures both microphone and system audio directly on your device, transcribes everything in real time, and then uses AI to generate summaries, action items, and follow-ups. The output is sent to the tools your team already uses, like Slack, Linear, or Notion.

What makes Reline different from other meeting note-takers is its emphasis on privacy and flexibility. No bot ever enters your meeting; audio stays on your machine until you choose to process it. The app has four core phases: Capture (preserves speaker source for every segment), Summarize (uses customizable "Lenses" to format transcripts into the shape your team needs — a wiki page, a follow-up email, or just action items), Ask (RAG chat across one note, a folder, or your whole workspace, with citations linking back to the exact timestamp), and Ship (push notes and tasks to Slack, Linear, and Notion). It also transcribes in over 60 languages and supports seven for recording, summarizing, and chatting, including right-to-left scripts.

This tool is ideal for teams that have regular meetings — standups, strategy reviews, customer interviews — and want to stop worrying about capturing decisions and action items. Product managers, engineering leads, and remote teams will get the most value, especially when colleagues work across time zones and need a reliable record of what was agreed. The free tier is generous enough for individuals; paid plans likely target larger teams needing more storage and integrations.
