Meeting notes with a running "still open" action tracker
Record what was discussed, who was there, and what needs to happen next - then let one always-visible panel show you every outstanding action item across every meeting, soonest due date first, with anything overdue flagged. Any industry, any team size.
Meetings - grouped by date, most recent first, with a per-meeting open/overdue badge
Still open - every outstanding action item across every meeting, overdue ones flagged
Insights - totals plus an open action items by owner breakdown
Every undone action item across every meeting, in one panel, sorted by due date with overdue items flagged - no need to open each meeting to see what's outstanding.
Meetings are grouped by date, most recent first, and each one expands inline to show its notes, attendees and action items - it reads like a diary you can drill into.
Every action item has a free-text owner (any name, not a fixed staff list), an optional due date and a simple done checkbox - nothing more complicated than that.
Total meetings, total open action items, overdue count and a per-owner breakdown of who currently has the most open items - a thin utility, not a project management suite.
One search box matches title or attendee; a location/type filter and a from/to date range narrow a long history down instantly.
Every meeting carries a simple location/type field so you can see at a glance how a catch-up happened, without free-typing it every time.
Export every meeting and its action items to one CSV file, and import a CSV back in - meetings and their action items round-trip cleanly, even a meeting with none yet.
"Load sample" fills the journal with 9 meetings spanning several weeks, with a healthy mix of done, open and overdue action items, so the "still open" list has real content immediately.
A one-click theme toggle that persists between sessions, matching the shared look and feel across every Metre2 desktop app.
Everything lives in local storage on your device - no account, no server, no internet connection required to use it day to day.
No trade jargon, no construction framing - a weekly ops catch-up, a client kickoff, a board review or a two-person check-in all fit the same simple model.
No project management, no Gantt charts, no timesheets - just meeting notes, action items and a running list of what's still open. Nothing more than that.
Most small teams keep meeting notes in email threads, a shared document, or a general project-management tool that's overkill for "who said they'd do what by when." Here's how a dedicated, focused tracker compares.

Comparison based on typical Trello/Asana free-and-paid tiers and typical OneNote/Word meeting-notes usage as of August 2026 - features vary by plan and by how a team actually uses each tool, so this is a general comparison rather than a specific product review.

Meeting Minutes & Action Tracker is a Windows desktop app. It is not yet available on the Microsoft Store - a Store listing is planned, but for now the app is built and ready ahead of submission.
Title, date, attendees (free-text list), location or type (In person, Video call or Phone), notes/summary, and a list of action items - each with its own text, owner, due date and a done checkbox.
A single always-visible panel listing every undone action item across every meeting you've logged, soonest due date first, with anything past its due date flagged as overdue. It's the fastest way to see what's outstanding without opening each meeting individually.
A journal - meetings are grouped by date, most recent first, and each one expands inline to show its notes, attendees and action items. There's no slide-over drawer, no tab bar and no two-pane split; it reads like a diary you can drill into.
Yes - every action item has a free-text owner field (a name, not a fixed list of staff), plus a due date and a done checkbox. The Overview panel also shows a per-owner breakdown of who currently has the most open items.
Yes - one search box matches meeting title or attendee, plus a location/type filter and a from/to date range, so a long meeting history stays quick to scan.
Yes - export every meeting and its action items to a single CSV file, and import a CSV back in. Meetings and their action items round-trip cleanly, including a meeting with zero action items.
Yes - "Load sample" fills the journal with 9 realistic meetings spanning several weeks, with a healthy mix of done, open and overdue action items, so the "still open" list has real content immediately.
Everything persists on your device between sessions - nothing is uploaded anywhere. The app works entirely offline with no server dependency, and data doesn't currently sync across multiple devices.
