QuietHint®

What it does

A meeting assistant for macOS that transcribes on your Mac, labels who said what, and suggests a short reply when a question comes up. No bot joins the call.

QuietHint transcribes your calls on your Mac, keeps your words apart from theirs, and suggests a short reply when a question comes up. No bot joins the call. QuietHint listens to the sound on your Mac. Nothing is installed in the meeting, so the app on the other end never knows the difference. App names are the trademarks of their owners. QuietHint is not affiliated with, endorsed by or integrated with any of them. Speech becomes text on the device with a local model. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is recorded to disk.

  Resurf▲301

  Hi HN folks, Deep here. I am a design engineer and I have been building Resurf for the past 4 months. Resurf is a local first Mac app for quickly capturing notes, thoughts, ideas, inspiration, links, and files like PDFs and images without switching context. As a design engineer who cares a lot about craft, I built resurf because my “stuff I want to keep” was scattered across tabs, different apps, notes, screenshots, random folders, and I kept losing good references.
