Thoth - Private, local AI transcription for your Mac

Your Mac has more power than the Apollo 11 guidance computer. Why send private audio to the cloud? 🚀 As a Laser Physicist, I built Thoth to reclaim that power. It’s a 100% native macOS transcriber for absolute privacy. Why Thoth: • On-Device: Whisper & LLMs run locally. No cloud, no data harvesting. • Core Audio: Record Zoom/Teams directly without clunky drivers. • SwiftUI: No Electron. Just pure speed. Stop renting servers. Use your hardware. 🛡️

With so many new AI Note Takers - what's your favorite and why?

I've tested so many AI Note takers as of late. @Fathom, @Fireflies.ai , BuildBetter, @Grain, and even Google's Transcribing feature. They're all pretty good but lately @Granola has been winning me over.

BuildBetter is really good for teams, has a nice chat function that lets you chat across all your meetings and get good insight from your team members, calls, clients, etc.
But for personal, and individual notes - Granola is a champion. Recently I've been using Granola's new mobile app for in-person convos and it's amazing. Particularly for my conversations in Japanese, where the chances of me misinterpreting something, missing a key note, or simply not knowing a word are higher. Granola captures all key points and topics and WRITES THE NOTES IN ENGLISH.
Literal immediate translating assistant. I'm not sure if other's do this, but Granola has been the easiest to quickly boot up and get my notes in a snap...without needing to translate.
I'm curious what everyone else uses and why!
