Show HN: Minute – Offline meeting notes on macOS with Whisper and llama.cpp

Hello HN,

I built Minute because I wanted searchable meeting notes without sending recordings or transcripts to a cloud service. It captures microphone and optional system audio, transcribes locally with Whisper, and generates summaries, decisions, and action items using a local LLM through llama.cpp. After the initial model download, everything runs on-device and in-process. There’s no account, server, or telemetry. The app is built with Tauri, Rust, React, and Metal acceleration. Notes are stored locally as plain text, JSON, and WAV files.

I built the project end-to-end with Codex as a design and engineering partner—including the UX, accessibility work, reliability tests, CI, and Apple Silicon/Intel release automation.

I guess software engineering isn’t ending. The leverage is getting ridiculous.
