A macOS menu-bar app that records meetings and transcribes them locally into Markdown notes for Obsidian.

• Fully local transcription — uses FluidAudio (Parakeet TDT v3) running on Apple Neural Engine. No audio leaves your machine.
• Menu-bar native — lives in the status bar, stays out of your way
• Obsidian integration — saves transcripts as .md files with YAML frontmatter, directly into your vault
• Calendar integration — shows upcoming Apple Calendar events, click to use as the recording title
• Configurable output — separate folders for audio recordings and transcript notes, customizable filename templates with {{date}} and {{title}} tokens

• macOS 14.0+
• Apple Silicon (M1+) recommended for fast transcription via Neural Engine
• ~1 GB disk space for the transcription model (downloaded on first use)

Requires XcodeGen and Xcode 15.4+.
