Products that do what Alt – A local AI lecture/meeting notetaker does

Most AI notetakers have a 300 minute limit. This is not enough for uni students like me, or people who do remote work. So, I made a notetaker that runs the ASR model on-device. - Free with local ASR & LLM models - No transcription time limit - High accuracy for non-english speech, support for 100 languages - Real-time transcription - Zoom/Google Meet support - No internet needed - Efficient battery usage (~6 hours on full charge on my M2 Pro) This started as a small cli tool I made for myself, then many of my uni friends really liked it, so here it is as an app! I hope a lot of people…

    Hey HN! Like most here regular meetings have always been a big part of my work. Over the years I've learned the value of active note taking in these meetings. Meaning: not minutes, not transcriptions or AI summaries, but me using my brain to actively pull out the key points in short form bullet-like notes, as the meeting is going on, as I'm talking and listening (and probably typing with one hand). This could be agenda points to cover, any interesting sidebars raised, insights gotten to in a discussion, actions agreed to (and a way to track whether they got done next time!). It's both useful…

    Reor is an open-source AI note-taking app that runs models locally. The four main things to know are: 1. Notes are connected automatically with vector search. You can do semantic search + related notes are automatically connected. 2. You can do RAG Q&A on your notes using the local LLM of your choice. 3. Embedding model, LLM, vector db and files are all run or stored locally. 4. Point it to a directory of markdown files (like an Obsidian vault) and it works seamlessly alongside Obsidian. Under the hood, Reor uses Llama.cpp (node-llama-cpp integration), Transformers.js and Lancedb to power…

    This lets you talk to local LLMs in Apple Notes. I saw Obsidian Ollama (https://github.com/hinterdupfinger/obsidian-ollama) and thought it was handy, but I'm too lazy to migrate away from the Apple ecosystem, so I quickly hacked this together. I tend to use Notes as a scratchpad for prompts, so it's nice to do some quick inference without leaving the app. Notes doesn't really support plugins so I'm using the macOS accessibility API for reading selections and then stream responses using the clipboard (not ideal but it works).
