QuietHint listens to your call on your Mac and suggests a short reply while a question is still being asked. No bot joins the meeting and audio never leaves your device: speech is transcribed on the Mac, with your words kept apart from theirs. Hints land in a small overlay during the call, not in a summary afterwards. Works with any call app, uses your own Anthropic key, free to try on Apple silicon.

Hi Product Hunt, Pavel here, maker of QuietHint.
Every meeting assistant I tried wanted two things from me: a bot in my calls and my recordings on its servers. I did not want to give it either.
QuietHint stays on your Mac. Nothing joins the meeting, and the audio never leaves the machine. Speech is transcribed on the device, your words kept apart from theirs, and when a question comes up a short reply appears in a small overlay while you are still talking. It works with the call app you already use, on your own Anthropic key, so nobody else ever sees your conversations. Not even us.
One question for you: what is the thing you most wish you had known in the middle of your last call?
I am here all day. Ask me anything about how it works, and about what it does not do yet.
Pavel, Mangoosy
I was curious about the pricing at first because the transcription is running locally on the Mac, which made me wonder where the ongoing AI cost comes in. Then I saw that the hints use the user's own Anthropic key. The $9/month is essentially for the app and unlimited suggestions, while Anthropic usage is separate. That makes a lot more sense now.
Best wishes @mangomangoosy and team :)

Thanks @whatshivamdo , you read it exactly right. Transcription is local, so the only ongoing cost is the model behind the hints, and right now that is your own Anthropic key.
In about 48 hours that stops being the only option. The next release adds credits: you top up once, hints run on our key, and there is no API key to create at all. The first 10 questions are free, so you can judge whether it earns its place before paying anything. The $9/month with your own key stays for people who prefer it, and it keeps working the same way.
Appreciate the close read. That is the question everyone asks.

Woah! The website is so good, love it!!! This deserves an upvote haha
But about the product, I don't want to be rude, I just want to understand: what's the main difference from all the other notetakers? Honestly, I'm here every week, and every day or two I see a new notetaker launch, so I'm starting to get a bit tired of this category ^_^
