# HyNote

> HyNote is an AI meeting assistant with an unusual selling point: it does its work on your own Mac rather than in the cloud. It captures audio system-wide, so it picks up Zoom, Meet, Teams, or anything playing in a browser without dropping a visible bot into your call, then transcribes and summarizes what was said. The company claims 99 percent transcription accuracy across more than 50 languages, with speaker labels so you can tell who said what. Because it runs natively on Apple Silicon, from M1 through M4 chips, the processing happens on-device, which is the whole point for anyone nervous about sending sensitive conversations to a third-party server. It ships with more than 30 templates, covering things like meeting minutes, SWOT analyses, and study notes, so the output arrives already shaped for how you plan to use it. The core features are free, with paid tiers for heavier AI usage and export options. For freelancers, therapists, lawyers, or anyone who just wants clean notes without handing their calls to the cloud, the privacy-first framing is a genuinely appealing twist on a now-crowded category.
