Extract for Fathom

Guide

Download Fathom transcripts as organized local files

A transcript is most useful when it is easy to search, store, and move into the next tool. Extract turns matching Fathom meetings into local files with readable names and a table of contents.

Best for people who want a simple Fathom transcript download workflow without turning every recording into a manual file-management task.

Workflow

How to do it

  2. Preview matching meetings from your Fathom account.
  3. Set a date range or title keyword so the download stays focused.
  4. Select transcript output and any additional formats you want.
  5. Run the export and save the ZIP to your computer.
  6. Open index.csv to see every downloaded meeting and file.

Manual vs Extract

Where Extract removes the busywork

Manual workflow

  • Manual downloads are fine for a single meeting.
  • Large exports require repeated clicks and cleanup.
  • Files usually need renaming before they are useful.
  • There is no single archive manifest for later review.

With Extract for Fathom

  • Download many Fathom transcripts at once.
  • Create a consistent folder of meeting files.
  • Keep transcript content off the Extract server.
  • Try three matching meetings free before buying.

Meeting content stays local

Extract's Chrome extension talks directly to Fathom with your API key and builds the export ZIP in your browser. The Rails app only handles license checks, checkout, and anonymous diagnostics. It does not receive transcripts, summaries, highlights, or action items.
