Nojoin is a self-hosted meeting transcription and notes solution.

It captures audio through a supported browser, processes recordings on your own server, and gives you transcripts, speaker separation, meeting notes, search, meeting chat, and a web-based dashboard for day-to-day work.

Nojoin is built for people who want the usefulness of meeting assistants without inviting bots into meetings or defaulting to a SaaS platform for storage and processing.

• It is free, self-hosted, and open-source.
• No meeting bot awkwardly joins your calls.
• Works across any meeting platform, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Webex, and more. If you can hear it, Nojoin can capture it.
• Local transcription and speaker attribution on your own infrastructure.
• Optional cloud LLMs, or fully local AI with Ollama.
• Web dashboard with recordings, calendar, and a Tasks workspace.
• Browser-native capture for system audio and microphone input.

• Chrome for Windows, Linux, and macOS (shared-audio recording)
• Chromium-family browsers on Windows and Linux (shared-audio recording)
• Chromium-family browsers on macOS (best-effort shared-audio recording)
• Chrome (mobile) for Android and iOS (microphone-only recording)

1. Clone the repository.

   git clone https://github.com/Valtora/Nojoin
   cd Nojoin

2. Create local deployment files from the tracked examples.

   cp docker-compose.example.yml docker-compose.yml
   cp .env.example .env

3. Set required environment variables in .env.

   • FIRST_RUN_PASSWORD
   • DATA_ENCRYPTION_KEY (for any persistent deployment)
   • And other API keys as needed for your desired features.

4. Start Nojoin.

   docker compose up -d

5. Open the web app.

   https://localhost:14443
   

6. Complete the first-run wizard.

7. Open Nojoin in Chrome on Windows, Linux, or macOS for shared-audio recording, in another Chromium-family browser on Windows or Linux, or in Chrome on Android/iOS for microphone-only recording, then start a short test meeting. Other Chromium-family browsers on macOS are best-effort. See docs/CAPTURE.md for browser capture guidance.

Notes:

• An NVIDIA GPU is strongly recommended for faster processing.
• CPU-only mode is supported but it is much slower.
• Browser capture supports shared-audio recording on Chrome for Windows, Linux, and macOS, Chromium-family browsers on Windows and Linux, and best-effort macOS Chromium-family browsers, plus microphone-only recording on Chrome for Android and iOS.
• Set DATA_ENCRYPTION_KEY once and keep it stable to avoid losing access to previously encrypted calendar credentials after restores or host changes.
• For remote access, reverse proxy setup, calendar OAuth, updates, and backup guidance, use the documentation below.
