A local-first Mac menu bar app that records and transcribes meetings on-device. No subscriptions, no bloated functionality I didn’t need — just the transcript, with a footprint small enough to run on an 8GB Mac.

It also tracks my presentation metrics: talk-to-listen ratio, pace, filler words. Visible only to me.

The biggest player in this space is named after an American breakfast. I named mine after an Asian one.
