For people who live in meetings · Built in the EU

You were in six meetings today.
Cernio remembers all of them.

Cernio records your calls and your screen, then answers the questions you get asked weeks later: what did the client agree to on the 14th? Who owns the timeline? What is still open? Every answer links to the exact moment. No bot joins the call, and your recordings are stored on your device.

Local-first — your recordings & transcripts are stored only on your device
Powered by Gemini — accurate, multimodal analysis

Who it's for

Built for the people who have to remember what was said.

If your week is back-to-back calls and you are the one expected to know what was agreed, Cernio is for you.

Lawyers

A client call runs 90 minutes. Two weeks later you need the exact words they used about the deadline, not your notes.

Ask in plain language and get the quote with a link to the moment it was said. Recordings are stored on your laptop, and capture is consent-aware for RO, EU and US rules.

Project managers

Five status meetings a week, and the decisions quietly start to contradict each other.

Cernio pulls decisions and action items out of every call, shows what is still open, and pushes tasks to Linear, Slack or Notion.

CEOs and founders

You can't be in every room. You still need to know what your team promised and to whom.

A weekly review of every recorded meeting: decisions, open threads and what needs your attention, without re-watching a single call.

Consultants and agencies

Six clients, six sets of promises, and every call starts with "where did we leave this?"

One workspace per client keeps each client's meetings, decisions and follow-ups apart, so you walk into every call already caught up.

Two short meetings a week? You probably don't need Cernio. It earns its place when meetings are long, frequent and matter later.

What it does

The recording is just the start.

Every meeting becomes structured, searchable knowledge — automatically. Transcript, decisions, action items, who-owes-what: the follow-up that eats your evenings, handled. You get the time back.

Before you record

Smart Start sets everything up before you hit record.

Type what you're about to record in plain language. Gemini names the file, tags it, picks the right template, and detects the language — in about a second, before you ever hit record.

8 templates: meeting, demo, bug, tutorial, standup, code-review, interview, brainstorm.
Each template tunes how the AI analyzes the recording afterward.

Capture

A recorder that gets out of your way.

Pick a screen, window, or drag a region. Add webcam picture-in-picture and your mic. Drop markers on the fly. It's hardware-encoded, so it stays light while you work.

Source / window picker, region select, live preview.
Markers (⌘M) become jump points on the timeline.

Transcript & diarization

Accurate transcript with speaker labels and timestamps you can edit inline.

Chapters & topics

The recording is split into titled chapters with topic transitions on the timeline.

Action items

Extracted with assignee and due date — tracked open or done across recordings.

Decisions

Every decision captured with its rationale — and any dissent that was voiced.

Entities

People, companies, files, dates and links — linked across your whole library.

Suggestions

Next steps, who to send the minutes to, what docs to update — drafted for you.

Cross-team memory

Every team, every context — one memory.

Cernio keeps a running memory per team, per project, per person: the decisions locked in, the action items still open, the topics that keep coming back. Ask "What's still open with Platform?" or "What did I promise Sarah in our last 1-on-1?" and get answers with clickable citations that jump to the exact moment.

Per-person 1-on-1 history and recurring-topic tracking.
Weekly insights surface patterns, overdue items and sentiment trends.

While you record

Catch what you'd miss when you're spread thin.

Attention split across three threads? A real-time transcript builds as you talk, and the AI nudges you: a topic raised three meetings in a row, an action item still unclosed, a decision that contradicts one another team made last month. It pays attention so you can lead.

Ask mid-recording: "What did Sarah say about the budget?"

Three steps

Record. AI organizes. Ask anything.

No tagging, no folder wrangling, no re-watching. The workflow is the same whether it's a 5-minute standup or a 90-minute interview.

01

Record

Describe it in a sentence, pick a source, hit record. Markers, webcam and mic are one click each.

02

AI organizes

On stop, you get a transcript, chapters, action items, decisions and entities — indexed into your memory.

03

Ask anything

Chat across every recording. Get answers with citations that jump straight to the moment it was said.

Privacy · GDPR · EU data rights

Built for European privacy law.

Your recordings, transcripts and memory index live in a local database on your machine — you stay the data controller. What leaves is what the AI needs for an analysis: audio and text go to Gemini, straight with your own key or through Cernio's gateway on managed credits. With on-device models, it stays on your machine. Export everything or delete it for good, on demand — the GDPR access, portability and erasure rights, wired into the app.

On your device

local
  • Recordings, transcripts & memory index, stored locally
  • Nothing is synced to our servers
  • Export or delete everything, anytime

Sent to Gemini

per analysis
  • Only the audio for the analysis you run
  • Via your own Gemini key, or managed cloud credits
  • A live cost dashboard tracks every call
Consent-first, by jurisdiction. Before you record, Cernio surfaces the right recording-consent flow for RO, EU and US contexts — and every AI analysis is something you trigger, never a hidden background process. EU AI Act transparency, by default.
On-device AI · EU-grade privacy

Run the AI on your own machine.

Cernio ships a local AI mode: on-device Whisper transcribes, and a compact open model turns each meeting into chapters, decisions, action items and memory — on your computer. Set it up once, then run it offline. Only questions about what was on screen need Gemini.

Open models you control

  • Compact open models, optimized to run on your hardware
  • Downloaded once, checksum-verified, stored locally
  • Swap model size for speed vs depth

Structured analysis, offline

  • Decisions, action items, summaries & memory — built on device
  • Reliable, structured output you can act on
  • No API key, no network, no per-call cost

Security as a feature

  • Recordings, transcripts & index are stored only on your machine
  • Your API key is stored locally, never synced; no content telemetry
  • Consent-aware capture for RO / EU / US

By default, audio is transcribed by Gemini — sent with your own key or through Cernio's gateway on managed credits. Switch to on-device Whisper to keep audio on your machine. Questions about what was on screen always use Gemini.

Integrations

Pushed where your work already happens.

When analysis finishes, Cernio posts the summary, opens tasks from action items, and syncs the transcript — automatically, with rules per template. No copy-paste.

MCP · Claude, Claude Code, Cursor · Pro

Ask your AI assistant about your meetings.

Turn on Cernio's MCP server and Claude, Claude Code or Cursor can search your recorded meetings. Ask “what did the client decide about pricing in the last three calls?” from wherever you already work, and get answers that cite the meeting, date and timestamp.

Five read-only tools

  • Search what was said and what was on screen
  • Open a meeting: summary, decisions, action items, your notes
  • List action items and decisions across meetings

One workspace, your choice

  • Shares only the workspace you pick in Settings
  • Reads, never writes or deletes
  • Off until you turn it on

Runs only on this computer

  • Reachable only from this computer, with an access token
  • Requests from web pages are refused
  • The AI app gets only the excerpts it asks for

Setup is copy-paste from Settings → AI. Claude Code and Cursor connect directly; Claude Desktop needs Node.js installed. The connected app may send the excerpts it receives to its own cloud, and search text goes to Gemini unless on-device embeddings are on.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How does pricing work?
Cernio has two plans. Go is pay-as-you-go — buy credits and use AI when you need it, no subscription. Pro is a flat €24.99/mo (14-day free trial on your first subscription) that includes 40 hours of AI a month and unlocks on-device models and your own Gemini key (private, unmetered), integrations, multiple workspaces and more. See the plan comparison above for what's included in each.
Where does my data go?
Recordings, transcripts and the memory index are stored only on your machine, in a local database. By default, audio is sent to Gemini for transcription and transcript text for analysis and search; questions about what was on screen always use Gemini. With on-device models, transcription, analysis and search stay on your device. If you connect another AI app (Claude, Cursor), it receives the excerpts it asks for.
How does Cernio handle GDPR and the EU AI Act?
Cernio is built around EU privacy law. Your content stays in a local database, so you remain the data controller; with your own Gemini key, no Cernio cloud ever touches it. GDPR access, portability and erasure are wired into the app — export everything to a file or delete your account and data on demand. Recording is consent-first by jurisdiction, and every AI analysis is something you trigger, in line with EU AI Act transparency. Sentiment analysis is optional and off by default; turn it on only where your local workplace rules allow. A DPA and sub-processor list are available on request at privacy@cernio.app.
What's the difference between the plans?
Both plans record, transcribe and analyze, and both get Live AI, Ask and cross-recording memory — anything that uses AI is available on Go, you just pay per use from your credits. Pro (€24.99/mo) is for privacy and flexibility: run on-device models (only questions about what was on screen go to Gemini) or your own Gemini key (unmetered, straight to Google, no Cernio cloud in between), plus integrations, advanced export and multiple workspaces. The comparison table above breaks down every feature, and a live cost dashboard tracks your AI usage as you record.
Which platforms are supported?
macOS 12+ (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows 10+ and Linux (.AppImage and .deb). It's a native desktop app with hardware-accelerated encoding on each platform.
Can it record and transcribe other languages?
Yes. Smart Start auto-detects the language, and transcription supports 99 languages. You can also pin a language per recording if you prefer.

Stop being the one who has to remember.
