Since this isn't available yet on Windows, what would be the glue & duct tape alternative? Record audio and dump it in chatGPT? Or do you need to create some kind of automation with n8n / Zapier? I don't have that many meetings but it could be nice to have

I've been using https://www.quillmeetings.com/ on Windows for a few months and it's been great. It processes locally in the same fashion i.e. no cloud requirement. Paid subscription, not open source.

Their free plan might be just what I need. Thanks, I'll have a look

I just tried this for a standup meeting, and the inability to tell who said what is a show stopper. You'll need to add speaker diarization for this to be useful for more than 1:1s.

agreed - we understand that speaker identification is crucial when it comes to extracting action items and we're actively working on this!

This looks exactly like something that I've been saying to myself that I want! Installed, and already used to transcribe two meetings. At the moment I think that I'm going to carry on using this. Keep going, it looks great!

awesome! hope we can meet you in our discord :)

I honestly don't care that much if Granola uploads my notes to some external service. Work conversations are not private anyways. HOWEVER, I was extremely disturbed to find out that Granola was automatically making each of my notes folders public to the entire organization . Including 1:1s, you guessed it. Yeah, really shook my trust in this product by a lot.

hyprnote stores and processes data entirely on-device — but you can also bring your own model for better quality and have controllability.

The only issue I have with those tools, and I have not seen a single one even acknowledge this, is that it becomes completely useless when holding meetings in a hybrid fashion where some people are remote and others are in the office with a shared mic. Almost all of our meetings are hybrid in this way, and it's a real pain having almost half of the meeting be identified as a single individual talking because the mic…

I recently tried Vibe ( https://github.com/thewh1teagle/vibe ) from a recording of a meeting taken on one side. It was able to identify the speakers. As Speaker 1, 2, etc. But still useful to see.

yeah vibe is a great app. we're actually friends with the maintainer :)

you might also like shadow if you're interested in just local speech-to-text

Congrats on the launch. I never understood why an AI meeting notetaker needed sota LLMs and subscriptions (talking about literally all the other notetakers) - thanks for making it local first. I use a locally patched up whisperx + qwen3:1.7 + nomic embed (ofcourse with a swift script that picks up the audio buffer from microphone) and it works just fine. Rarely i create next steps / sop from the transcript - i use ge…

> I never understood why an AI meeting notetaker needed sota LLMs and subscriptions I’m the opposite: If something is expected to accurately summarize business content, I want to use the best possible model for it. The difference between a quantized local model that can run on the average laptop and the latest models from Anthropic, Google, or OpenAI is still very significant.

For summarizing context, it's not that far off. I've summarized notes using Claude Sonnet 3.7 and Qwen3 8b, and there a difference, but not huge.

Hello, I am a manager at a tech firm. Came across your product, and feeling this could be a thing I was looking for these days - recently got banned of some notetakers. Impressive demo video btw!

First of all I wanna try this on my personal device. How can I implement your product in my devices?

I also want to discuss some points (on-device, self-hosting, open-source, etc.) to persuade our compliance team, as well
