About yapyap
Every meeting recorder ships your audio to the cloud and bills you monthly. yapyap does neither. It records, transcribes, names your speakers, and turns talk into summaries and action items entirely on your own machine. “Lenses” reshape each recording into whatever you need: a summary, a to-do list, or a decision log. You can install more or build your own. Prefer the cloud? Optionally connect any major provider: OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq. Either way, yapyap is yours forever. No subscription.
About Oats
Most meeting notetakers don't send a bot anymore but they still upload your conversations to their cloud, and most cost $18+/mo. Oats doesn't. It runs entirely on your Mac, transcription on-device, nothing leaves your laptop, no account, no subscription. It's free because it runs on your machine, not my cloud. Type your notes; Oats blends them with the transcript into a clean write-up. Bring your own model key, or stay fully offline. Mac + Windows → oatsnote.com
