Kimiko Review 2026

Kimiko is a Mac and Windows note taker that records meeting audio without a bot, writes summaries and tasks, and runs speech and AI models locally by default.

Kimiko is a desktop application for Mac and Windows that combines meeting notes, written notes, AI chat and voice dictation in one workspace. It is built by Inovia AI Solutions LTD and positions itself as a local-first note taker: speech recognition and text processing run on the user's computer by default, and cloud services are opt-in.

For meetings, Kimiko records the microphone and the computer's own audio rather than sending a bot into the call. That approach makes it independent of the meeting platform, and the site lists Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Webex and FaceTime. After a call it produces a summary of decisions and next steps and suggests tasks that stay linked to the meeting they came from. Users can also write standalone notes with headings, checklists, tables and images, and an optional polish feature rewrites notes while keeping the original. An AI chat panel answers questions about one meeting, a selection of notes or a whole project, with citations back to the transcript. Other features include system-wide dictation into apps such as Gmail, Slack and Google Docs, talk-versus-listen statistics, experimental speaker recognition, calendar sync with Google Calendar and Outlook, and export to PDF, Word or Markdown.
