Oats
100% Free, private meet notes that never leave your computer
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
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Akshay. I build small, local-first tools that run on
your own machine instead of someone else's cloud.
Quick one, since it'll come up: Granola is great and it doesn't send a bot
either so the difference is that Oats runs entirely on your Mac, and it's free.
That's the whole idea. Your audio never leaves your laptop, transcription
happens on-device, and there's no account and no subscription because
there's no server for me to pay for.
