Exporting & Sharing

How do I export a single meeting?

Open the meeting and choose Export Transcript…. The save panel has a format picker with six options.

Format	Extension	What you get
Markdown	.md	The full note — summary, action items, participants, transcript. The format the vault drop writes.
Plain Text	.txt	The same content without markup, for pasting into email or a ticket.
SubRip Subtitles	.srt	Timed cues for video editors and players.
WebVTT Subtitles	.vtt	Timed cues for the web.
JSON	.json	The structured document — segments, speakers, word timings where available, summary, action items, notes, flagged moments.
CSV	.csv	One row per segment: index, start_seconds, end_seconds, start_timecode, end_timecode, speaker, text, flagged.

The same six formats are available to an agent over MCP through get_meeting_data(format:), rendered by the same code, so a script and the save panel cannot disagree about a timecode.

Which format should I pick?

• Feeding it to another tool or a script — JSON. It is the only format that carries word-level timings and the summary structure.
• Opening it in a spreadsheet — CSV. Files written to disk carry a UTF-8 byte-order mark so Excel decodes accents and Cyrillic correctly.
• Captioning a recording — SRT or WebVTT.
• Reading it, or putting it in a notes app — Markdown.

Do exported files come out in my language?

They come out in the meeting’s language, not your interface language. Headings like Participants, Action Items and Transcript follow the language the meeting was summarized in. See Languages.

Timecodes, filenames and machine-read property values are the exception — those stay fixed in every language, so a tool parsing them never has to care about your locale.

Can it write a note into my notes app automatically?

Yes. Point MimicScribe at a folder in Settings > Integrations and it drops a Markdown note per meeting, flavored for the vault you picked — Obsidian, Logseq, or plain Markdown. Each flavor gets the front matter and task syntax that vault actually reads.

Timestamps in the note are rendered in the meeting’s time zone, not the one you are in when you read it.

What happens if I edit a note the app wrote?

The app stops overwriting it. MimicScribe tracks whether a note is still its own by hashing the content it wrote; once that hash no longer matches, the note is yours and later updates leave it alone.

Ticking a checkbox is not an edit for this purpose. Task states — - [x], the Tasks plugin’s ✅ completion dates, Logseq’s TODO/DONE and :LOGBOOK: drawers — are stripped before the comparison, so checking off an action item does not cost you future updates.

Can it push meetings somewhere automatically?

There is an outbound webhook: Settings > Integrations > Webhook. When a meeting completes or is updated, it POSTs the summary, action items, tags and participants as JSON. A Discord webhook URL is reshaped into an embed automatically.

Three things to know before you rely on it:

• It never sends the transcript. Summary and metadata only.
• It does not retry. One POST, 30-second timeout, and a failure is silent.
• It does not fire for offline meetings. Only https URLs are accepted, except for loopback addresses.

You can sign requests with an HMAC secret stored in the Keychain.

Can I send action items to Reminders?

Yes. An action item can be pushed to Reminders from the summary, and the reminder’s body is written in the meeting’s language. An item with a date can go to Calendar instead. Each needs its own macOS permission, and both are optional — MimicScribe works fine without either.

Can I export more than one meeting at once?

Not from the save panel — it is one meeting at a time. For anything bulk, an agent connected over MCP can walk search_meetings and pull each one with get_meeting_data. See Integrations.
