horch records every meeting, transcribes it on-device, and remembers what was said — so you can ask. No cloud, no account, no subscription.
Mic and system audio on separate tracks, captured at the OS level — Zoom, Meet, Teams, phone, or a room. No bot ever joins your call, and a consent notice keeps you honest.
Whisper runs on your chip — offline is fine. You fix speaker names with calendar suggestions, then confirm. Only confirmed transcripts get summarized, indexed, and mined for todos. Garbage never gets in.
Chat across every confirmed meeting. Answers cite meeting and timestamp; click to replay the audio. Todos write themselves and check themselves off. Every person gets a page. The model can run on your Mac via Ollama or MLX — zero bytes leave the machine.
horch! is German — an old word for hark! listen! — and horcht means it listens. That's the whole product: it listens on your Mac, remembers what was said, and keeps every word to itself. Built in Austria, where we take that last part personally.
Everything lives as Markdown in ~/Meetings, and the horch command ships with the app. Script it into any workflow.
The free Companion shows your digest and todos and captures thoughts — synced over your own iCloud. Recordings and transcripts never leave the Mac.
One payment, yours forever. A year of updates is included; after that horch keeps working — renew at €25/year only if you want new versions. Everything runs on your Mac, never the cloud.
