Local Library for macOS
Download for Mac.
Local Library runs on Apple silicon Macs. Download the current signed release, then start your 30-day trial during first run.
Before you begin
- An Apple silicon Mac (M1 or newer).
- About 800 MB for the on-device models, plus space for your library.
- An email address to register and verify the free trial.
First run
Local Library checks your Mac, asks which folders to include, and lets you choose where recordings and summaries go. It then downloads the speech, speaker and search models and starts the local engine.
You also choose how summaries are made. Local transcription and search always stay on your Mac. Summaries can use a model on your Mac, a provider you connect with your own API key, or wait until you decide.
Already have a library?
Choose “I already have a library” on the welcome screen and select the Local Library folder that contains archive.db.
