No bot joining your call. No bot icon in the participant list. Just clean, private recording from your computer — for any meeting, any audio, anywhere.
The Fireflies Desktop App is now available to everyone. Download it once, and it captures audio directly from your Mac or Windows computer. No bot joins your call. No one sees an extra participant. No permissions prompt mid-meeting. But the bigger story isn't just about bots. It's about what you can now record that was never possible before:
- A Zoom call where your company blocks external bots
- A Slack huddle (bots can't join these at all)
- A podcast you're recording
- A phone call through your computer
- An in-person conversation with your laptop on the table
- Any audio, on any app, running on your machine
If it makes sound on your computer, the Desktop App can capture it.
Everything you already use Fireflies for — now on your desktop
The Desktop App isn't a separate product. It's Fireflies, running natively on your computer. After any recorded session, you get the same transcripts, AI summaries, action items, and AskFred search you already rely on. All 90+ integrations work. Your existing meetings and teammates are already there. The difference is where the recording happens. Instead of a bot in the cloud joining your call, your computer captures the audio locally and sends it to Fireflies for processing. Same output, different — and more private — input.
"Most tools react after the fact. Live Assist helps you in the moment — when decisions are being made and words actually matter."
— Krish Ramineni, CEO, Fireflies.ai
Live Assist and Sales Assist, built in
The Desktop App also brings Live Assist and Sales Assist to every call you record. Live Assist gives you a real-time panel during meetings — surface answers from your knowledge base, pull up past decisions, check pricing — without leaving the conversation. Sales Assist does the same for sales calls specifically, letting reps answer questions on the spot without putting a prospect on hold. Both run quietly alongside whatever call you're on.
Privacy and security, by design
Fireflies never trains AI models on your meeting data. The Desktop App adds another layer: recording happens on your device before anything is processed. Private storage options are available, and the platform is HIPAA compliant for teams that need it.
Available now
The Desktop App is available today on Mac and Windows, for all Fireflies users on Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans.
