Hi Product Hunt — I'm building LokalBot, a free, open-source Mac app for looking up things from your workday.

  • What did we agree on? Search a meeting, find the decision, and jump to the part of the call where it came up.

  • Where was that page? Search screen text you chose to save and open the matching moment.

  • What do I still need to do? Review outstanding actions without rereading every transcript.

Local by default. It records and transcribes meetings without adding a bot. Screen text and screenshots are optional. The built-in models run on your Mac. Models and updates need downloads; remote models need your explicit approval.

You can also dictate, autocomplete, and make a follow-up draft to review.

What Astra helped me ship. I used GPT-6 Astra in Codex to rebuild the Models setup: see which models are ready, download a replacement before switching, and recover with retry, cancel, and undo. It shipped in 0.8.1 with focused tests and hosted macOS UI checks. Astra helped with development; LokalBot's built-in processing stays local.

Free, with no account required. Apple Silicon Macs, macOS 15 or later.

I used GPT-6 Astra in Codex to rebuild LokalBot's Models setup. The update separates active models, downloaded files, and connections, and prepares a replacement before changing the active selection, with retry, cancellation, and undo. That work shipped in 0.8.1 with focused model-setting tests and hosted macOS UI checks. This was a development contribution to an existing app: LokalBot's built-in processing runs locally on the Mac, and Astra is not a runtime dependency.
