Pauta records and transcribes meetings, interviews and voice notes, then turns them into summaries and action items. It works fully offline, keeps your data on your device, and only connects to external AI if you choose.
I’m Paulo, one of the founders of Foreigners, and together with Fê and Leo we built Pauta.
Pauta started from a simple problem: a huge amount of useful information lives inside conversations — meetings, interviews, voice messages, spontaneous ideas — and most of it disappears as soon as the conversation ends.
We wanted a way to keep that context without turning every conversation into another cloud data source.
So we built Pauta around a simple idea: your conversations should become useful memory, while remaining yours.
Pauta can record and transcribe conversations, generate summaries and action items, and help you revisit what was actually said.
But the part we care deeply about is how it does it.
Your recordings and data stay on your device by default. Pauta can work fully offline. If you want to connect an external AI, that’s your choice — not a requirement for the product to work.
We’re already using it ourselves for meetings, job interviews, voice messages and those moments when an idea shows up and you just want to start talking.
Pauta is available today on macOS and iOS, and we’re currently testing Windows.
We’d love to hear how you’d use something like this — and especially what you think a truly private AI memory should be able to do next.
voice messages are the worst for this, someone explains something important for 4 min and a week later nobody can find it. does it work with telegram voice notes?
Feel free to ask new features and send feedback, we are continually growing the project and new ideas are always welcome!
The product decision that matters is when text leaves the machine. If local Qwen is the default for summaries, what still goes out when someone later asks a question across a whole project?

Who hunted Pauta?
Pauta was hunted by Paulo Pereira. 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.
