Running the App

For macOS:

Use the provided script to run the app in development mode:

./clean_run.sh

To build a production version:

./clean_build.sh

You can specify the log level (info, debug, trace):

./clean_run.sh debug

For Windows:

Use the provided script to run the app in development mode:

clean_run_windows.bat

To build a production version:

clean_build_windows.bat

You can also use the package scripts directly:

pnpm run tauri:dev
pnpm run tauri:build

Local Transcription

Current Meetily does not require a separate FastAPI service, Docker backend, or manually started whisper-server process. Local transcription is handled by the Rust/Tauri desktop app.

For build and acceleration details, see:

Development

Frontend (Next.js)

The frontend is built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS
Source code is in the src/ directory
To run only the frontend: pnpm run dev

Backend (Tauri)

The Rust backend is in the src-tauri/ directory
Handles audio capture, file system access, transcription, storage, and native integrations
To run only the Tauri development server: pnpm run tauri:dev

Troubleshooting

Common Issues on macOS

If you encounter permission issues with scripts, make them executable:
```
chmod +x clean_run.sh clean_build.sh
```
For microphone access issues, ensure the app has microphone permissions in System Preferences

Common Issues on Windows

If you encounter build errors, ensure Visual Studio Build Tools are properly installed
For audio capture issues, check Windows privacy settings for microphone access
If the app fails to start, try running Command Prompt as administrator
