Hyprnote – VSCode for Meeting Notes (Open-Source and Local-First)
Hi HN. This is Yujong from Hyprnote. Hyprnote is an open-source, local-first macOS app that you can use for meetings. - It uses Mic + System Audio for audio sources. - Whisper (small-en-q8) + Llama (3b-q8) for transcription + summarization. Some interesting bits: - Extension & plugin system that you can use to create widgets (inspired by VSCode). - Built with Libsql. Will enable DB sync across cloud/devices in the future. There are still some rough edges, but I thought it is worth sharing the concept and getting feedback. We have an interesting onboarding video. Please try it out!…
Hyprnote – VSCode for Meeting Notes (Open-Source and Local-First) launched on April 20, 2025 with 18 votes, #1,132 of 7,818 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
In plain words
Hyprnote is an open-source, local-first macOS app for recording and transcribing meeting notes. It captures audio from the microphone and system audio, then uses Whisper for transcription and Llama for summarization, all processing locally on the user's device. The app features an extensible plugin system inspired by VSCode for creating custom widgets and uses Libsql for data storage, with future plans for cloud and cross-device synchronization.

- OOOWhisper – Ollama for realtime speech-to-text2025 · docs.hyprnote.com · ▲289
Hello everyone. This is Yujong from the Hyprnote team (https://github.com/fastrepl/hyprnote). We built OWhisper for 2 reasons: (Also outlined in https://docs.hyprnote.com/owhisper/what-is-this) (1). While working with on-device, realtime speech-to-text, we found there isn't tooling that exists to download / run the model in a practical way. (2). Also, we got frequent requests to provide a way to plug in custom STT endpoints to the Hyprnote desktop app, just like doing it with OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoints. The (2) part is still kind of WIP, but…

Minute – Offline meeting notes on macOS with Whisper and llama.cppJul 2026 · github.com · ▲12Hello HN, I built Minute because I wanted searchable meeting notes without sending recordings or transcripts to a cloud service. 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. I built the project end-to-end with Codex as a…
Summit AI NotesMay 2026 · summitnotes.app · ▲38Summit is a local-first macOS app for meeting recording and transcription. All audio processing, transcription, and summarization happens on your Mac - nothing is sent to the cloud (unless you chose to). Built for privacy-sensitive work such as NDAs, legal, healthcare, consulting. Features: - Works with any call app: zoom, meet, teams, etc. - Automatic call detection - On-device speaker identification - Custom summary templates (decisions, action items, notes) - Supports online and in-person meetings Would love feedback from people who care about local-first software and privacy.

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
