What it does
There are plenty of good meeting note apps. Most of them pile on AI features and keep your notes inside their own cloud. Second does less. It records the call on your Mac, transcribes locally, and saves everything as markdown. Speaker labels, custom vocabulary, editable transcripts and persistent memory. Then a CLI and an MCP hand all of that to Claude, Codex or Hermes, so the meeting shows up inside the workflow you already have. $19 once. No subscription.
Private meeting memory for the AI tools you already use.
Second records calls on your Mac, writes private markdown notes, and gives Claude and Codex a local CLI for prep, follow-ups, and relationship history. Second captures the meeting cleanly, then gets out of the way. You get speaker-labeled transcripts, editable notes, custom vocabulary, audio playback, and markdown your agents can use. Second CLI, Codex plugin, and adaptive vocabulary should stay as product terms. After the call, the agent can draft the partner update and prepare the next review. Let’s keep the transcript editable so names and speaker labels can be fixed after processing. The raw notes should stay local and be easy for agents to read without another dashboard.

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
