I just downloaded on mac M4 pro mini. I installed the apple silicon version and try to launch it and it fails. No error message or anything. Just the icon keep bouncing on the dock. I assumed it needs some privacy and screen recording and audio permissions and explicitly gave them, however still just jumps on the dock and the app does not open. (OS, mac sequoia 15.5)

working on trying to identify the problem! could you come over to our discord where we could better support you? https://hyprnote.com/discord

That is very strange. Can you launch it from the command line and share what you got?

Congrats! I'm currently a Granola user, and wanted to build this myself a while back. But I probably wouldn't have gone as far as fine-tuning a small model for meeting summarization. Can't wait to try it out!

Super! let us know how it goes! (we have discord channel too)

Installation and onboarding was nice & smooth!

A few random bits of realtime feedback:

You have an icon with the Finder face labeled "Open Finder view." I would expect this to open the app's data folder in the macOS Finder. Instead, it opens an accessory window with some helpful views such as calendar view. I'd encourage you to find another name for that window, because it's too confusing to call it "Finder" (especially with the icon).

I'd also add a menu item for Settings (and Command-comma shortcut) in the Application menu.

You also need a dark mode at some point.

Finally, I'm not sure where note files end up. Seeing that there's an Obsidian integration, I would love an option to save notes in Markdown format into a folder of my choice. I'm an iA Writer user, and would love to have meeting notes go directly into my existing notes folder.

I'll let you know how the actual functionality is working for me after my next few meetings!

Nice!

Would be great if you could include in your launch message how you plan to monetize this. Everybody likes open source software and local-first is excellent too, but if you mention YC too then everybody also knows that there is no free lunch, so what's coming down the line would be good to know before deciding whether to give it a shot or just move on.

Seems like

this is invalid on Mac mini. Should be fixed today.

haha we couldn't find a better icon for the "Finder" view so we just went with the classic one. but i guess it's confusing - noted.

we do have settings shortcut already! be sure to test it out :)

dark mode - noted as well.

we save our notes in db.sqlite that can be found in: ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.hyprnote.stable

this decision was made because we have three documents - raw note, enhanced note, and transcript - assigned to a meeting note.

would love to create an iA integration for you - or just a simple way to export MD for the time being
