Description
Pluely is a native desktop overlay for macOS, Windows and Linux that stays invisible on screen shares and recordings. It listens to your call, transcribes it live with speaker labels, and drafts an answer the moment a question is asked. Ask mode takes a typed question, a screenshot or a file. New in 1.1: meeting detection, a transcription-only mode, an automatic recap with decisions and action items, and Pro purchase inside the app. Everything is stored on your computer. Free with your own key.

Could you build this?
Partial Building a basic transcription UI is easy, but creating an overlay window that is completely invisible to screen-recording APIs across macOS, Windows, and Linux while capturing system audio requires low-level OS expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires native desktop development (C++/Rust or Swift/Win32) leveraging specific OS window flags (e.g., `NSWindowSharingNone` on macOS, `SetWindowDisplayAffinity` on Windows) to hide the overlay from screen capture. In addition, capturing system loopback audio cross-platform requires virtual audio drivers or CoreAudio/WASAPI integrations alongside low-latency streaming STT pipelines.
