Partial The UI and summary features are approachable, but a native Mac app that captures system audio from many call apps and runs several on-device models efficiently is specialized work.
What it would actually take: The app needs a native macOS layer for system audio capture with Core Audio or ScreenCaptureKit, plus on-device inference for Whisper or Parakeet models using Core ML or MLX. A local LLM is needed for summaries, and speaker diarization must run locally. Getting acceptable speed and battery use on consumer Macs takes Apple-platform and ML-optimization expertise beyond what vibe coding alone provides.
