The app has a few tools that are related and share local models: inline autocomplete in any app, and a private day timeline and a chat/search with your meeting notes.\n\nIt's a native app, built with Swift and open-source. I'm still waiting for my Apple developer account to be approved so I can properly sign/notarize the app but there is a .dmg on GitHub you can install and try.\n\nFor transcription I recommend IBM Granite Speech 4.1, and for summarization any of the Qwen 3.5/6 models work well.\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48744378](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48744378)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-lokalbot-meetings-notes-and-autocomplete-that-never-leave-your-mac", "canonical_source": "https://www.lokalbot.com/", "published_at": "2026-07-01 09:45:38+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-01 10:21:05.102388+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "large-language-models", "ai-tools", "ai-products", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["LokalBot", "Apple Silicon", "IBM Granite Speech 4.1", "Qwen 3.5", "Qwen 6", "GitHub", "Swift"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-lokalbot-meetings-notes-and-autocomplete-that-never-leave-your-mac", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-lokalbot-meetings-notes-and-autocomplete-that-never-leave-your-mac.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-lokalbot-meetings-notes-and-autocomplete-that-never-leave-your-mac.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-lokalbot-meetings-notes-and-autocomplete-that-never-leave-your-mac.jsonld"}}
