What it does

QuickQuill records your meetings and turns them into transcripts and summaries, and nothing is ever sent to the cloud. No bot joins the call, and it keeps working with Wi-Fi off, which is how the demo video was recorded. It also shows live subtitles with translation while you record, and there's push-to-talk dictation for any app. No account, no subscription. Dictation is free forever, and a single $49 purchase unlocks the full meeting workflow. Requires macOS 26 on Apple Silicon.

Private, on-device meeting notes for Mac. Record, transcribe, and summarize your meetings without a bot or the cloud.

On-device transcription and summaries for any conversation. No cloud, no bot. Buy once. One click starts recording. There's no bot to invite and no link to paste. No one else in the call sees a third party join, because none did. QuickQuill records your voice and the other side together, in order. Turn on live captions to read along as you go. Everything stays on your Mac. When you stop, your Mac transcribes the whole conversation and writes a summary in the background. Review it, search it, export it. Nothing is ever uploaded. Turn on the floating caption bar to read the conversation as it unfolds. Watching a call or a video in another language? QuickQuill translates it on the fly, using…from quickquill.app

    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…

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
