QuickQuill records your meetings and turns them into transcripts and summaries, and nothing is ever sent to the cloud. No bot joins the call, and it keeps working with Wi-Fi off, which is how the demo video was recorded. It also shows live subtitles with translation while you record, and there's push-to-talk dictation for any app. No account, no subscription. Dictation is free forever, and a single $49 purchase unlocks the full meeting workflow. Requires macOS 26 on Apple Silicon.
Hi Product Hunt, I'm a solo developer in Japan👋
I built QuickQuill because I never got comfortable with meeting notetakers. You invite some company's bot into the call, it sits there in the participant list, everyone acts like that's normal, and the recording ends up on a server you never see. The apps say they won't look at it, and maybe they don't. I just didn't want work conversations to depend on that kind of trust.
QuickQuill does everything on your Mac. It records both sides of the meeting, transcribes it, shows live subtitles with translation if you need them, and writes a summary when you stop. Nothing appears in the participant list because nothing joins the call.
I recorded the demo on my M1 Mac with Wi-Fi turned off.

It requires macOS 26 on Apple Silicon. Dictation is free with no time limit. The meeting features are $49 once during launch, and $79 after that. I didn't want this to be another subscription, so there isn't one.
