§ The meeting series

002 / Home

You don't run one meeting; you run a portfolio of them. The 1:1 with Sarah is a thread across months. The pricing review is a thread across quarters. Nobody pays you to remember the threads — they pay you to decide what to do about them. Seriesly is a quiet companion that remembers the threads. It runs on your Mac, listens to your Zoom and Google Meet calls, and keeps everything in a local database on your own machine. The other tools bolted on memory you have to ask for; Seriesly carries it forward on its own. The unit is the meeting series, not the meeting. That changes what a notetaker can be.

A meeting series: is the recurring thread across every 1:1, every standup, every monthly review. It's the unit Seriesly remembers.

§ The product

003 / Home

Five surfaces. One quiet companion that remembers the series.

Brief me before every meeting.

Twenty minutes before your 1:1 with Sarah, Seriesly drafts a single page. What you talked about last time. What she's been chasing across the last three meetings. The escalation she raised yesterday in a sync you weren't in. The thing you said you'd do and didn't.

It's the briefing you used to wish someone would slide across your desk — except now you have one for every recurring meeting on your calendar, not just the board meeting.

Brief · 1:1 with Sarah Chen · 12:45 today

Drafted 12 min ago·4 meetings · 1 vault note

Sarah will ask about pricing again.

She has brought it up in your last three 1:1s. Each time, you said "next week."

Threads Pricing rollout (3 meetings) · Hiring her #2 (2 meetings) · Mobile cutover (1 meeting)

She last said Sarah: "I can hold the line for another week, but Q3 enterprise is starting to slip without it."

You promised A decision on the discount band by Friday. Apr 28, end of 1:1.

Net new Lina escalated the same question to you on Monday. Same thread.

What I'm forgetting, who owes me, what I owe others.

Every commitment you've made in a meeting, every commitment made to you, every question you raised and never answered — held in one ledger and aged. Seriesly is the only thing in your stack that hears the moment Marcus says "I'll have it by Thursday" and remembers on Thursday whether he did.

What changed while I was away.

Two days at a board retreat, a week in Lisbon, a Friday spent in deep work. When you come back, the question isn't "what happened" — it's "what changed that I need to act on." Seriesly diffs your portfolio across the gap and writes the memo.

Person · Sarah Chen · Head of Enterprise

Sarah Chen

14 meetings · since Aug 2024

Sarah is currently most blocked by the open pricing question with Lina. Her team's Q3 enterprise pipeline depends on the discount-band decision; she has raised it in three consecutive 1:1s and once over Slack. She tends to surface concerns indirectly — listen for "I can hold the line." Cares about: her team's autonomy, the mobile cutover, hiring her #2.

Apr 28 Last 1:1. Pricing surfaced for the third time. You committed to a decision by Friday. Apr 21 Joint review with eng leadership. She agreed to wait on mobile cutover until June. Apr 14 1:1. Floated her interest in hiring a deputy. You said yes but didn't open the req. Apr 03 Strategy off-site. She pushed for the Q3 enterprise plan; got reluctant buy-in.

Spike a question across every source.

Your calendar, your Obsidian vault — and every meeting you've ever had. One question, every source, with quoted citations back to the moment something was said. The answer is grounded in what's on your machine, not what a model thinks the answer should be.

§ A Tuesday

004 / Home

Eight forty-three a.m. The board retreat ended Friday. You open the laptop and there is a small notification on the menu bar that says three deltas worth knowing about. You read them in ninety seconds.

Nine fifty-five. Your 1:1 with Sarah opens in five minutes. The brief is already on screen. You see the line about pricing — third time she's raised it — and you make a decision before she has to ask.

Three p.m. Mobile launch review. You open the topic brief on the way in. It tells you the launch slipped four days, and that Marcus had already said it would, twelve days ago, in a meeting you didn't attend. You stop interrogating the date and start asking better questions.

Six p.m. You close the laptop. There were thirty-one things you could have forgotten today. You forgot none of them, because you were not the one remembering.

how a director used Seriesly, last week

§ The shape

005 / Home

It lives on your machine.

Storage

Local first.

The database is a SQLite file on your disk. If you have macOS FileVault enabled, it is encrypted at rest along with the rest of your disk. The audio is captured by the Mac you're already using; transcription runs on-device when you ask it to. Nothing about your meetings sits on someone else's hard drive by default.

You can open it.

It's a file. You can move it to another Mac, back it up, or open it with the SQLite tools you already have. Seriesly does not own your data the way a SaaS does.

Shape

Single player today.

Seriesly is for the one principal whose context this is. There is no team workspace, no shared folder, no admin console. That is intentional — the loops in your head are yours.

Sync, when it comes.

Multi-device sync is the v2 question. We will publish our approach before we ship it, and give you a clear month's notice before anything changes.

Reach

Mac, by design.

Seriesly is built for macOS 15 and later, on Apple silicon. The audio capture, the menu-bar daemon, the on-device models — all native. The app is fifty megabytes; it boots in under a second.

The other places.

It reads from Google Calendar and your Obsidian vault — through connections you grant, on credentials you own.

Set sail

The next meeting remembers itself.

Open it once. Connect the calendar. Run a 1:1. By the next one, the brief will be waiting on your desk.
