Hey Product Hunt 👋
so basically every AI meeting tool I tried needed to join my call as a bot. Little "Otter is recording" thing sitting there, everyone sees it, it's just... awkward. Also most of them wanted a work Google account which I don't even have.
Got annoyed enough to build my own thing. Nod runs on your Mac and just listens to your system audio, no bot, nothing joins the call. Works with Zoom, Meet, Teams, whatever - Slack calls, Discord, even FaceTime, random voice memos. It doesn't "integrate" with any of these apps at all, it just hears whatever your Mac is playing, so it doesn't care what app you're using.
Privacy was the other big thing for me honestly. Audio never gets saved anywhere - it sits in memory just long enough to get transcribed and then it's gone. Transcription happens in the EU, zero retention, none of it trains any models. And it's tied to your regular personal Gmail, not some Workspace/admin setup - no company sitting in the middle of your notes.
The feature I actually use the most is Ask Nod - you can just ask questions across everything you've ever recorded. Like having a search engine over every conversation you've had.
Mac only for now. 14 day trial, no card. Tell me what's broken or missing, I'll be around all day 🙌
Finally something that skips the awkward meeting bot setup. Loved that it just runs in the background and my notes are actually searchable without uploading any audio.
Does this work with system audio during calls, or does it just pick up from my mic? Wondering how it handles things like group calls where multiple people are talking at once.
The local-only setup was the selling point for me, and being able to grep through weeks of chat history without worrying about where that data lives is genuinely useful. Wish I'd had this during my last project review.
