Faktum is a passive AI meeting assistant for Mac and iPhone. It records, transcribes in 26 languages, and verifies claims against real web sources in real time, highlighting supported, contested, or contradicted points with a small card. It never joins calls as a bot, requires no account, and doesn’t store audio. Users get a transcript, summary, and action items. Free for 20 minutes a month with full fact-checking.

Hey everyone! I’m Hossein, the solo dev behind Faktum. We are drowned in misinformation every single day—whether it's a wild claim on a podcast, a talking head on TV news, or a sketchy stat dropped in a work meeting. I got tired of trying to fact-check everything manually while listening, and I was equally wary of creepy cloud tools recording everything I say. So I built Faktum to be a universal B.S. filter. It listens right on your device, transcribes as you go, and instantly surfaces sourced verdict cards for claims as they come up—including the strongest opposing view. You can use it anywhere: run it while you're playing a podcast, leave it open during the evening news, or use it in a meeting. Because it runs locally, there's no awkward bot joining a call, no account needed, and your audio is never stored or sent to a cloud. To be transparent about the landscape: a few tools attempt live fact-checking, but I couldn't find a single one that was private, native to Apple platforms, and flexible enough to use anywhere without a bot. It’s completely free for 20 minutes a month so you can try it out on your favorite podcast or news show before deciding anything. I’ll be here all day. Tear it apart and tell me where it’s wrong—accuracy is the entire point of the app, so your toughest feedback is the most useful thing I can get.

Finally something that doesn't make me sign up just to test it. Loved watching the fact-check cards pop up as someone on the call made a shaky claim about market data, super useful for work meetings.
