yapyap
Own your voice again. Local-first voice & meeting recorder.
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.

Who hunted yapyap?
yapyap was hunted by Sander Boer. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.

👋 Hey Product Hunt!
I got sick and tired of paying subscriptions for everything in my life.
The latest addition? A transcription app that was charging me every month to upload my conversations to their servers.
So I built the opposite.
yapyap records and transcribes conversations entirely on your machine. Speaker identification, summaries, action items, custom analysis. All local. No account.
No bot is joining your calls, and no audio is leaving your device.
The parts I'm most stubborn about:
🔒 Nothing leaves your device.
Transcription, diarization, and the AI analysis all run on your hardware. Not “encrypted in transit.” Not “we don't train on your data”. Just: it never goes anywhere.
💸 You buy it once.
No monthly fee, no lock-in, and no archive holding your words hostage. Your recordings stay searchable, exportable, and yours. Forever.
🔍 It's a memory, not a transcript dump.
Everything you've ever recorded is searchable, and you can point custom analyses (“lenses”) at any conversation.
📱 There's a phone app too
For the conversations that don't happen at your desk. It syncs to your desktop over your network and no cloud in between.
Software used to work this way. I still believe it can.
I'd genuinely love your feedback!
