Seshlog is the new public repo for a focused fork of Meetily.
It is built around one workflow: prepare meetings in Obsidian Markdown, capture high-quality live transcription, and write everything back into your vault in a clean, reusable format.
This is "Cosmic Archaeology": meetings are the ancient ruins of daily work, and Seshlog helps turn fleeting conversation into durable notes you can revisit like a map of the stars.
PREPARE (Obsidian) -> EXECUTE (Live) -> PROCESS (Save)
- Load .md file - Record meeting - Save transcript back to .md
- Parse prep - Deepgram STT - Update status
- Show goals/context - Speaker labels - Keep prep sections intact
- This is now its own public fork and brand: Seshlog.
- Biggest technical shift: Deepgram integration for better real-time transcription quality.
- Biggest workflow shift: Markdown-first prep and output in Obsidian Vault format.
Most of my meetings are in Dutch. I needed better Dutch transcription quality than local models currently provide, especially for live speaker-labeled output. That specific need is a major reason this fork exists, and why Seshlog uses Deepgram for real-time transcription.
Obsidian is the note system this project is designed around. Seshlog treats Markdown as the source of truth: start with prep notes, run the meeting, then write transcript and outcomes back to the same file so your vault remains the single place for planning and history.
- Published and rebranded as Seshlog with its own project identity.
- Added Deepgram transcription provider and settings.
- Added Obsidian Markdown parsing/writing flow for meeting prep and transcript output.
- Introduced a mystical brand voice inspired by the brandbook direction.
- Kept local-first architecture and privacy-oriented workflow from upstream.
This project is a fork of Meetily by Zackriya Solutions.
Their architecture and open-source foundation made this fork possible.
- Obsidian-First Workflow: Load meeting prep from Markdown files and write outcomes back to your vault.
- Deepgram Transcription: Cloud STT with speaker diarization, selected for better multi-language meeting transcription.
- Local Fallback: Whisper.cpp for offline transcription when needed.
- Real-time Display: Live transcript view during meetings.
- Privacy-Oriented Architecture: Local capture and local file handling, with configurable transcription provider.
