Hi PH,
I built trnscrb because I wanted something simpler.
Most meeting tools try to be everything. Summaries. Dashboards. Cloud sync. Accounts. I just wanted reliable transcription that runs locally and saves plain text files on my Mac.
trnscrb lives in your menu bar.
It detects Zoom, Meet, Teams, Slack, and FaceTime calls.
It records and transcribes on Apple Silicon using Whisper.
Speaker labels are added.
The output is a clean .txt file in a local folder.
It also runs a local MCP server, so compatible tools can read and search your transcripts directly on your machine.
Requirements:
macOS 13+
Apple Silicon M1 or later
Happy to answer setup questions, especially around system audio capture and MCP configuration.
