threadfork offers a 14-day free trial with full Pro access. After the trial, Pro continues the full local-first meeting workspace, and Enterprise is available for teams and deployment needs.

Accepted Answer

Yes. threadfork supports Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet. Because it runs locally, it can also capture in-person meetings and phone calls.

Question 5

Is AI notetaking safe and private?

Accepted Answer

With many cloud tools, meeting data is stored on external servers. threadfork is private by design: transcription and AI processing happen on your device with no cloud storage or sharing.

Does threadfork store my audio or transcripts in the cloud?

Accepted Answer

No. By default, threadfork processes and stores everything locally on your machine. You control exports and integrations.

Question 9

Can threadfork generate action items and summaries automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After transcription, threadfork creates concise summaries, highlights key decisions, and extracts action items. Entities are connected with wikilinks and visible in a knowledge graph, so insights compound across meetings.

Question 10

Does threadfork integrate with calendars, email, or docs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. threadfork integrates with Google Calendar so you can see upcoming meetings and start recording with one click. You can export transcripts and summaries in Markdown or plain text. Because it's local-first, you control what leaves your device.
