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.
One private voice workspace for Mac. Record calls without a bot, dictate into any app, capture voice notes, and keep the result as searchable local Markdown.
Daisy captures meetings, dictation and voice notes, transcribes on-device, and turns what you said into useful, searchable memory on your Mac. Pick a mode by what you want to capture—and where you want the words to go when you are done. Record your microphone and anything playing on your Mac. Daisy separates the speakers and turns the call into a finished note. Hold a hotkey and talk naturally. Daisy transcribes on-device and pastes the text wherever your cursor already is. Tap a hotkey, say what is on your mind, and keep it as a titled, searchable standalone note in your own library. Daisy 1.0.7.59 introduced a workload dashboard, meeting preparation and evidence-backed plan review, plus…from mydaisy.io

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

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!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
