Your meetings,
distilled into a canvas.
MeetBall sits on your Mac as a quiet purple orb. While you talk, it captures the room, asks Claude to render the moment as a living visual canvas, and whispers answers back when someone asks "do you know about MCP?"
Not transcripts.
A scene of the meeting.
Every 30 seconds Claude redraws the meeting as a layout — stickies, decisions, action items, quotes, even flow diagrams. Sticky-notes are punctuation, not paragraphs. The canvas is legible at a glance.
- 14 node types — heading, text, hero, sticky, decision, action_item, quote, question, topic, calendar, link, youtube, image, flow.
- Stable IDs across ticks — the canvas evolves smoothly instead of flickering when new lines arrive.
- Mood-aware — pick "Sales pitch" or "Learning" or "Retro" and the prompt + node mix changes.
The interview-mode
secret weapon.
Turn on Hint Mode and the orb whispers a 1-line factual answer the instant a question lands — "do you know about MCP?" → "Model Context Protocol; lets AI agents call tools through a standard interface." Auto-dismisses in 10 seconds. Always optional.
Persisted in a Hints tab so you can review every assist that surfaced during the meeting.
Model Context Protocol — open standard for letting LLMs call external tools and data sources through a consistent JSON-RPC interface.
Pick your
brain stack.
Three presets — Extract accurate, Balanced, Economy — or hand-pick any Anthropic + OpenAI model. Cost estimates update live for a 30-minute meeting so you know the spend before you click record.
- Anthropic — Opus 4.7, Sonnet 4.6, Haiku 4.5, Haiku 3.5.
- OpenAI Vision — GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini, GPT-5-mini.
- ElevenLabs Scribe — diarized batch + chunked live transcription.
40 meetings.
One scroll.
Sticky day headers, status stripes for each row's pipeline stage, and a lightbulb glyph when a meeting captured live hints. Every meeting is one tap from its canvas, transcript, summary, notes, and assistant chat.
Every cent.
Per call. Per meeting.
We don't hide AI costs behind a flat fee. Every Claude call, every Scribe minute, every Vision frame is logged with token counts and final USD — so you know exactly what last Tuesday's standup cost you.
One purple companion.
Always within reach.
Pop the orb out of the sidebar and it floats above every app you use — Zoom, Slack, Chrome — at exactly the corner you dragged it to. Single click does nothing. Double-click brings MeetBall forward. Drag to move. That's the whole interface.
Always-on-top, never-activating
Borderless NSPanel with the .nonactivatingPanel style mask. Clicks don't shuffle your workspace.
Status at a glance
Elapsed time, transcript line count, and a sparkle when the canvas is regenerating — all inside the orb.
Hint cards in-place
When Hint Mode is on, the orb itself becomes the surface — a small yellow-bordered card surfaces the answer, then fades.
Built on the best of the modern stack.
Anthropic Claude
Sonnet 4.6 by default, Opus 4.7 for the heavy lift, Haiku 4.5 when speed wins. Tool-use renders the canvas.
OpenAI Vision
Periodic frame captures get a one-line description that feeds back into Claude as context.
ElevenLabs Scribe
Diarized batch transcription on stop, plus chunked live transcription while the meeting is in flight.
SwiftUI native
ScreenCaptureKit, AVFoundation, EventKit, StoreKit 2 — no Electron, no web wrappers, no Catalyst.
