Meet Hobnob!
Local meeting notes. No cloud or internet required.
Hobnob records meetings, transcribes them locally with Whisper, labels speakers, and summarizes everything with a bundled LLM — all on your machine. Nothing leaves your laptop.

BYOM — Bring your own model. Set each model to your liking
Speaker labels — "Me" (mic) vs "Them" (system audio) baked in from the audio level
Final transcript — high-accuracy pass after the meeting ends (Whisper large-v3-turbo)
LLM summaries — structured meeting notes with decisions, action items, and open questions
Chat — ask questions about your meeting while it's still happening
