LocalScribe is a macOS app I built to capture conversations and turn them into text you keep. It records both sides (your mic and the other party), then transcribes and separates speakers on-device with Whisper or Parakeet. Apple silicon only: the models run locally and nothing leaves your Mac.
Made for people who curate their own local knowledgebase. The transcript lands as plain text in a folder you pick.
Telling people you're recording is your responsibility. No cloud. No subscription.
