Partial Building a standard desktop UI is easy, but capturing system audio on macOS alongside on-device local Whisper transcription and local LLM summarization requires native system-level audio driver integration.
What it would actually take: Requires a native Swift/macOS app integrating CoreAudio or ScreenCaptureKit for loopback system audio capture without external routing drivers. Local AI inference needs to be bundled using Whisper.cpp or MLX/CoreML to run quantized models efficiently on Apple Silicon without draining battery or overheating the machine.
