About

I build AI tools that run on your machine, not someone else's cloud - private by default & free. Right now that's Oats - local-first meeting notes that never send a bot to your call. Before it, Jarvis an open-source voice dictation for Mac (592★), same idea: 100% local-capable, free. I care about software you actually own: no accounts, no lock-in, no quietly training on your data. If that resonates, say hi. 👋

Oats - 100% Free, private meet notes that never leave your computer

Most meeting notetakers don't send a bot anymore but they still upload your conversations to their cloud, and most cost $18+/mo. Oats doesn't. It runs entirely on your Mac, transcription on-device, nothing leaves your laptop, no account, no subscription. It's free because it runs on your machine, not my cloud. Type your notes; Oats blends them with the transcript into a clean write-up. Bring your own model key, or stay fully offline. Mac + Windows → oatsnote.com
