A polished self-hosted call archive with transcription, summaries, search and chat; zero subscription, nonzero server.

SupernormalWith trade-offs$18/mo

Sembly AIWith trade-offs$17/mo

Self-hosted transcription, templates, topics, tasks, search and chat in one polished web app.

the catchIt is a self-hosted archive rather than a turnkey meeting bot, so capture and structured minutes depend on the ASR and LLM configuration.
