Capture audio from your microphone or system audio. Record meetings, calls, voice notes—anything.
Whisper AI runs entirely on your Mac. No internet required. Your audio never leaves your machine.
Optional AI summaries via Claude API. You provide your own key. We never see your data.
Everything saves as plain markdown in ~/Hardcopy. Portable. Searchable. Yours forever.
Toggle recording from anywhere with a global keyboard shortcut.
A subtle menu bar indicator shows you're recording. Continue your meeting, call, or work normally.
When you stop, Whisper transcribes locally. No upload. No waiting for cloud processing.
Clean transcript saved to ~/Hardcopy/transcripts. Works with Obsidian, Notion, or any text editor.
Every cloud transcription service has access to your audio. Your meetings. Your private conversations. Your medical appointments. Your therapy sessions.
We think that's insane.
Hardcopy runs Whisper AI directly on your Mac's Apple Silicon. Your audio never touches a server. There's no account to create. No data to leak. No terms of service granting rights to your recordings.
The code is open source. You can verify exactly what it does. Build it yourself if you want.
Your voice. Your data. Your machine. That's it.
Free and open source. No account required.
