Install

Prerequisites

• Docker and Docker Compose
• A Plaud account with at least one device
• An OpenAI-compatible API key (OpenAI, Groq, OpenRouter, Ollama, LM Studio, or any other compatible endpoint). Optional — browser-based transcription via Transformers.js works without an API key.

Install

The one-line installer pulls the published docker-compose.yml, prompts for the values it needs, and starts the stack:

curl -fsSL https://openplaud.com/install.sh | bash

Pin to a specific release:

curl -fsSL https://openplaud.com/v0.4.2/install.sh | bash

Once the containers are healthy, open http://localhost:3000 and create an account. You'll be walked through connecting your Plaud account and picking a transcription provider.
