The app integrates with macOS models to transcribe and summarize calls, with all data staying on-device and shared via a local bus.", "body_md": "## One meeting, through all three.\n\nOne standup, one Mac, nothing uploaded. Watch it move.\n\n90 seconds, drawn from the real interfaces. Sound on for the story.\n\n### Crest sees the call coming.\n\nThe notch names the meeting and offers to record it. Nothing starts until you tap.\n\nThat surface is the Minutes row in the panel at the top of this page.\n[Open Work mode and try it](#).\n\n### Minutes writes it down.\n\nBoth sides of the call, transcribed and summarized by the models already inside macOS.\n\nUse it right here. Play the meeting; catches wait for your tap, exactly like the shipping window.\n\n### The notes land in Crest.\n\nOne tap on Send to Crest Notes, and the summary files itself into the notch under Meetings. It moved between two apps and never left the machine.\n\n### Take picks up the demo.\n\nThe walkthrough records from the same notch and arrives already staged.\n\nUse the editor right here. Scrub the timeline and the canvas follows; what you are watching is the exported file.\n\nNo cloud between them. The apps talk over a local bus on your Mac and file their work into one folder all three can read.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-crest-a-macbook-notch-control-room-that-answers-claude-code-prompts", "canonical_source": "https://crestnotch.app/", "published_at": "2026-08-02 13:46:38+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-02 13:52:32.712191+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-tools", "natural-language-processing"], "entities": ["Crest", "Claude Code", "macOS"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-crest-a-macbook-notch-control-room-that-answers-claude-code-prompts", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-crest-a-macbook-notch-control-room-that-answers-claude-code-prompts.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-crest-a-macbook-notch-control-room-that-answers-claude-code-prompts.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-crest-a-macbook-notch-control-room-that-answers-claude-code-prompts.jsonld"}}
