A memory for your meetings.
Entirely on your Mac.

horch records, transcribes on-device, and turns what was said into todos, topics, and people pages. Your first brain is for thinking; this one does the remembering. 0 bytes uploaded.

A one-minute look at a real meeting becoming prep, todos, topics, and people pages.

HOW IT WORKS

Your day, already prepped.

One window on a four-meeting Wednesday: capture armed, the next meeting briefed, todos filed from what was said.

01 · CAPTURE
Auto-capture records every meeting at the OS level. No bot joins your call.
02 · BRIEF
Up next writes itself from where you left it last time, before you walk in.
03 · FILE
Todos and yesterday's decisions sort themselves while you talk.

Be fully in the meeting, even the 7th of the day.
horch keeps the notes, the names, the promises. You keep the thinking.

FIG. 2 · PREP

Walk in knowing
where you left it.

Before every meeting, horch writes your briefing: what was said last time, what's still open, what you promised. Connected across meetings, your own notes, and everything in between.

FIG. 3 · TOPICS

It connects dots
you didn't know were dots.

Things that keep coming up become topics: living case files curated from every meeting and note that touched them. Where it stands, how it got here, who owes what. The brief rewrites itself; the history never does.

Curated by horch from what was actually said. Wrong? Fix it.
FIG. 4 · TODOS

You just talk.
Todos happen.

No capture ritual, no "action items" doc. When someone promises something, in any language, horch hears it, gives it an owner and a receipt, surfaces it before you meet them again, and closes it when a later meeting hears it's done.

FIG. 5 · PEOPLE

Everyone you work with,
remembered in full.

Every person gets a page that writes itself: what's open between you, what they said last, the moments worth replaying. Attach your own notes; horch folds them in.

FIG. 6 · YOUR FILES

Every word kept. Every claim replayable.
And none of it leaves your Mac.

Files, not a silo
Plain Markdown and audio in ~/Meetings. Grep it, back it up, leave anytime. The archive outlives the app.
Thinks on-device
Transcription, extraction, curation and Ask run locally. Opt into a cloud model and only retrieved context leaves, never the archive.
Recording

One click in the menu bar. Both sides of the call.

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.

Waiting for review

You confirm once. Everything downstream is right.

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.

Complete, and useful

Ask anything. Get the minute it was said.

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.

horcht.

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.

horch.appon-device transcription0 bytes uploaded by default
It's files, so it's also a CLI.

Everything lives as Markdown in ~/Meetings, and the horch command ships with the app. Script it into any workflow.

Your agents can use it too.

The running app serves your meetings over MCP: search, people, todos, topics, every answer with a receipt. One click in Settings connects Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and friends.

THE PRIVACY PROOF

Don't trust us. Watch it.

horch makes one kind of network request by default: checking for updates. Run Little Snitch or any network monitor during a meeting: zero connections while recording, transcribing, and extracting. If you configure a cloud AI provider, retrieved excerpts of confirmed transcripts go to that provider and nothing else; local mode sends nothing anywhere.
