I've been working on a minimal, keyboard-driven Mac app that records and transcribes your meetings on device, similar to MacWhisper but way more minimal and simple. I originally built it for myself because I kept forgetting to start MacWhisper before calls. It uses Apple APIs to capture the mic and system audio, diarises it, and gives you a markdown transcript at the end. What I quite like about it is that during the call you can mark key moments, which then get inserted into the transcript at the right time. So if you do hand it to an LLM to summarise, it knows what was important.

I've always wondered how they made the UX so slick - thanks for sharing.

I like the idea, but this does raise a larger question about sensitive information (that you've alluded to, but I think it's more of a systemic/cultural problem). Everyone knows you shouldn't be pasting env secrets and customer data into Claude, but many do it anyway because the perceived productivity gains offered by tools like Claude Code are just too high to ignore (and the payoff is instant and the potential risk is later).

What this does though is make that visible. If someone partakes in that bad practice, then the secrets are already sitting in the transcripts on their laptop - this just moves them somewhere shared and permanent. Maybe that's enough to discourage the practice, idk. Still, not strictly your problem, but an interesting one nonetheless.

I'm getting a 404 on the link. I've always struggled with how to track open "threads" with colleagues, so I hope this does what I think it does. Interested to see how it's implemented.
