I'm the developer of Trace, a non-intrusive, shortcut-driven Mac app that records and transcribes your meetings on-device. I know, another meeting transcription app. Please bear with me though, I'm confident that this is at least a little novel. I primarily built Trace for myself. I'd been using MacWhisper, but there was enough fiddling before each call that I'd forget to start it and walk out of an hour-long meeting with nothing written down. So the things I cared about most were that it's quick to activate and stays out of the way. You activate Trace by pressing a global shortcut…

It captures microphone and optional system audio, transcribes locally with Whisper, and generates summaries, decisions, and action items using a local LLM through llama.cpp. After the initial model download, everything runs on-device and in-process. There’s no account, server, or telemetry. The app is built with Tauri, Rust, React, and Metal acceleration. Notes are stored locally as plain text, JSON, and WAV files.
