The open-source Fireflies.ai alternative
Fireflies.ai A meeting assistant bot that joins calls via a calendar integration, records and transcribes them, and pushes notes to your CRM. Ledgeur does the same core job — an accurate transcript and notes you can act on — but as open-source software that runs in your browser, so the audio never leaves your machine.
Per-seat SaaS; a bot joins the call; transcripts stored and analysed in Fireflies' cloud.
Where Ledgeur differs from Fireflies.ai
- No bot in the participant list — capture happens locally from the meeting tab.
- Privacy by default: audio is processed on-device, not in a third-party cloud.
- Free for individuals; pay only for shared team workspaces.
- Open source — auditable and self-hostable for security-conscious teams.
The audio never leaves
Whisper runs in your browser. So does speaker separation. There is no upload step to trust us about — open the network tab and check.
It learns who people are
Ledgeur separates the voices in a recording, and once you have named one, it recognises that person in every meeting afterwards. The voice prints stay on your device.
Nobody joins your call, and nobody can lock it out
No bot in the participant list, no awkward pause while people ask what it is. Ledgeur listens to the tab, the way you would. Which also means no video platform can revoke its access, the way they can with a bot that has to be admitted as a guest.
Free is the whole product
Unlimited recording, transcription, speakers, notes and search — permanently, for nothing. You pay when you want the record shared across a team, or open to your AI agents.
