Spellar AI is a meeting assistant from Spellar LTD that records on the device the user is already meeting on, so no bot joins the call. It runs as a Mac app (macOS 15 or later), iPhone and iPad apps, a web app and, since August 10, 2026, a Chrome extension called Spellar AI Recorder that records browser meetings without a desktop app. It captures Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex and in-person meetings and produces a transcript, a summary with decisions and action items, and notes shaped by custom templates written in plain language. During the call a live AI copilot answers questions and takes notes, and afterwards users can chat across all past meetings and receive weekly and monthly recaps.
Server-side AI transcription is opt-in per meeting and never the default, and transcription can also run on-device. Audio retention is configurable, including a device-only option that keeps recordings on the machine. Spellar Pro includes GPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, switchable per meeting, per template or per question, and users can bring their own OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or Perplexity key. The pricing page lists transcription in 45 languages. Spellar states that user data is not used to train any AI model and that its agreements with AI providers prohibit training on customer data. Its privacy policy, updated October 16, 2026, states that its servers run on Amazon Web Services in the United States, with data stored in MongoDB Atlas in the United States and Cloudflare R2 in North America and Western Europe. Spellar LTD is registered in England and Wales.
Spellar lists 15 native connectors, including Notion, Slack, Linear, Jira, Asana, ClickUp, Todoist, Google Docs, Google Tasks and Obsidian, with two-way sync that pulls tasks back from Linear and Jira, a calendar connector that adds context to each meeting, and webhooks for Zapier and other tools. Since October 13, 2026 Spellar has published a remote MCP server at mcp.spellar.ai, listed in the official MCP Registry, that lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients read meetings, transcripts, action items and recaps after an OAuth sign-in. Write access is optional and chosen tool by tool when connecting: completing or editing action items, adding notes, renaming, tagging or filing meetings, and creating seven-day share links. No tool can delete anything. The MCP server needs a paid plan, and during the free trial it covers recent meetings only.
Pricing is in USD. New accounts get a free trial of 300 minutes of transcription and AI summaries with no card, once per person. When the trial ends, transcription and AI stop until the user subscribes, and notes older than 7 days are locked. Spellar Pro is $20 per month billed monthly, or $15 per month billed annually ($180 a year on the web), with unlimited recordings, transcripts, summaries and AI chat, and a 14-day money-back guarantee on the first subscription. Through the App Store, Spellar Pro is $19.99 a month or $159.99 a year, with a weekly option at $6.99. Spellar Teams is $20 per seat per month from 5 seats, set up self-serve, and adds shared templates, folders, notes and AI chats, centralized billing and seat management, Team connectors for Notion, Google Drive and Google Docs, bring-your-own S3-compatible audio storage, and priority support with onboarding and a custom DPA. Teams over 100 seats or needing custom terms contact Spellar.
Spellar suits professionals and teams who want meeting notes without a bot joining the call, on Apple devices or in Chrome. Teams comparing other meeting assistants should also look at Granola, Fireflies.ai, Otter.ai, Olva, Fathom and tl;dv.
Current state Q4 2026: Spellar is at version 3.5 (September 13, 2026), which added a Home screen, an automatic stop when a meeting ends and a calendar that reaches back to past meetings. The Chrome extension shipped on August 10, 2026 alongside 30-day and 90-day audio retention options and Spellar-funded cloud transcription on Pro, and the MCP server joined the official MCP Registry on October 13, 2026. Spellar publishes no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification. It holds 4.96 out of 5 from 23 reviews on Product Hunt and 4.7 out of 5 from 26 ratings on the Mac App Store, and its claimed G2 profile has no reviews yet.
