Show HN: Hoeren – Local-only meeting transcription and voice dictation

4 points by dimaberlin 18 days ago · 1 comment · 1 min read


My company has a strict data policy around call recordings (and using cloud AI tools). I got tired of working around it every time I needed to transcribe something, so I built Hoeren - a macOS app that keeps everything on-device. No account, no internet, no subscription. Granola, Otter, Fireflies all do. This doesn't.

Two things it does well:

- Meeting transcription and summaries with action items - Voice dictation with optional AI prompting - you speak roughly, it turns that into something better (I use it to improve my English in Slack)

Apple Silicon only, Whisper&Qwen under the hood. One-time $49, no subscription.
