Record, transcribe, summarise — nothing leaves your Mac

What it does

Local-first meeting recorder for Mac — and fully open source (Apache 2.0). Records both sides of a call (mic + system audio) with no bot joining, transcribes on-device with Whisper, and summarises with your AI (Anthropic, OpenAI, Apple Intelligence). Exposes a local MCP server so Claude & Cursor can query your meetings — and doubles as push-to-talk dictation in any app. No cloud, no account, no subscription.

    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…

    Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
