Show HN: Trace – Offline Mac meeting transcripts you can flag mid-call
Trace is a Mac application that provides offline meeting transcription by processing audio entirely on the user's device. It captures both microphone and system audio, transcribes locally, and outputs a markdown transcript with flagged moments inline. The app requires macOS 14 or later and Apple silicon, and is available for download on the Mac App Store. It emphasizes privacy by having no accounts, no cloud dependency, and no meeting bots. The app was shared on Hacker News as a Show HN post.
