Hyprnote

Hyprnote is a private, local-first AI notetaker designed to enhance the way you manage meetings. Its primary function is to transcribe and summarize meetings entirely on your device—no data ever leaves your laptop. This makes it an ideal choice for individuals and professionals who prioritize privacy, offline reliability, and efficient meeting workflows. Hyprnote combines automatic transcription, smart summaries, chat, annotations, and customizable templates into a single macOS application, ensuring your meeting data remains secure while you stay organized.

• AI Notetaking: Hyprnote listens, records, and creates accurate transcriptions and concise summaries automatically, capturing key discussion points without manual effort.
• Local AI Processing: All speech‑to‑text and summarization models run locally on your device, ensuring complete data privacy and eliminating reliance on cloud services.
• Customizable Templates: Tailor AI behavior, note structure, and output formats to match recurring meeting types, personal preferences, or company standards.
• Flexible Deployment Architecture: Supports self‑hosted solutions, giving enterprises full control over infrastructure and data governance for strict internal policies.
• Offline Functionality: Full transcription and summarization work without an internet connection, making it usable anywhere from airplanes to on‑site confidential meetings.
• Annotations & Conversational Chat: Enrich notes with highlights, comments, or threaded discussions, and ask natural language questions about the transcript to locate key insights.
• Automated Workflow Streamlining: Reduces post‑meeting busywork by automatically organizing notes, extracting action items, and making summaries readily shareable.

1. Join the waitlist and get early access: Visit hyprnote.com, sign up, and follow the instructions to download the macOS application when invited.
2. Set up the app and grant permissions: Launch Hyprnote, enable microphone access, and optionally adjust system permissions for optimal local model performance.
3. Configure your meeting template: Choose from built‑in templates or create a custom one that defines summary structure, AI tone, and which elements (decisions, action items) to highlight.
4. Start a meeting session: Select or schedule a meeting, then press “Record.” Hyprnote listens in real time and begins transcribing locally.
5. Interact during or after the meeting: Use annotations to mark important moments, or ask the chat assistant to clarify a point—everything stays on your device.
6. Review and export your notes: Once the session ends, the transcript and AI‑generated summary are ready. Polish them further, then copy, export, or save for future reference.
