Your recordings should be yours to keep. Your AI should be yours to choose.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Tiger, the maker of SaidTrace.
I built SaidTrace around a simple idea: choosing how you record shouldn’t decide where your data lives or which AI you use.
🎙️ Record with your device
Bring audio from your iPhone, Apple Watch, recorder, or audio files into one archive on your Mac.
🧠 Choose your AI
Turn recordings into transcripts and notes. Use a local LLM through LM Studio or Ollama, or choose an external AI.
🔎 Find what was said
Search your archive and ask questions. Follow answers back to the recording and transcript behind them.
🔌 Use your archive from other AI tools
Connect through MCP so tools like Codex and Cursor can search your notes and retrieve transcripts.
💻 Keep your archive on your Mac
SaidTrace doesn’t store your audio, transcripts, or notes on its servers. Apple recordings can sync through your own iCloud. Optional external AI receives the text needed for your request.
💸 Start free
Get 20 imports and 20 AI summaries each month. Planned paid pricing is $3/month or $18/year, with hardware and external AI fees separate.
What frustrates you most about the recording apps you use today? I’d love to hear what you’d change so I can make SaidTrace better.
