Any good LOCAL AI notetaker you'd recommend?

Hi there, well :) not much to add here, my Q is what I'm sharing in the title. Maybe just to add a bit of context, I'd like to have smth I won't pay for here :)

I just realized that I'd be interested in one as well, so - following the thread :)

Personally, I ended up moving away from standalone AI notetakers.

Instead, I try to use Claude Code directly inside my actual projects, or through Hermes agents that already have access to my personal/project knowledge bases.

The key realization for me was that notes and calls are rarely “standalone.” They almost always belong to some larger context or knowledge graph:
– work projects
– construction/home stuff
– raising kids
– business ideas
– health
etc.

Because of that, I eventually stopped using separate note apps/workspaces and started pushing everything directly into active projects as markdown/text files. That way the context is immediately reusable by agents and workflows later.

So not really a direct product recommendation 😅 — more sharing the setup that ended up working best for me.
