I am a product person and a simple builder of small, useful tools.
Since 2024, much like many of us, I've been building a few personal tools again. While a lot of what I built (a long time back) was using a popular integration engine (TIBCO BusinessWorks - completing frequent forms and workflows; running data updates on defined intervals; polling event tickets, including the ones at the London Olympics 2012), GenAI has made this process so delightfully low-friction!
Thanks to nudges from some folks, I'm starting to open-source/share some of these. Took me a while to actually hit publish - not sure why, but here we are.
What happened here: Created this about a year ago during tax season. My accountant and financial planner explained things, I'd nod along, and then immediately forget (who knew depreciation schedules could be so... forgettable?). So I started recording (with consent) and needed a way to transcribe, label who said what, and feed it to Claude to remember, explain, track, and analyze.
What started as a tax-season hack grew into something I use for financial planning, medical appointments, complex travel plans - any conversation where I needed to reference specifics later.
Why build this when Fathom/Otter/etc exist? Privacy (no third-party processing), local (runs on my Mac), and cost-free transcription. But mainly? I wanted to start shipping something. These aren't groundbreaking apps - they're small/simple tools that genuinely help me. And tested (heavily by me, at least for a few months).
Docker-based, supports multiple LLMs, does what it says on the tin.
Will add more apps and custom configurations
