Your meetings.
Your machine.

Nothing leaves your Mac.

Every part of HushScribe runs locally. There are no accounts, no servers, and no data collection — by design.

• 🎙️
  Audio never touches a serverTranscription runs on-device via Apple Silicon. Your voice stays on your machine, always.
• 🤖
  AI that stays localPost-session summaries use Apple's NaturalLanguage framework — no external API, no API key, no network call.
• 📁
  You own the outputTranscripts are plain .md files in a folder you choose. No proprietary format, no lock-in.
• 🚫
  No telemetryNo analytics, no crash reporting, no usage tracking. Zero network requests at runtime.
• 🖥️
  Hidden from screen sharingThe app window is invisible to screen recording by default — it won't appear on your call.
• 🔓
  Open sourceFull source on GitHub. Read every line, build it yourself, or contribute. No black boxes.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Built for people who want clean, structured meeting notes without giving up control of their data.
