Trace is a macOS application that records meetings, transcribes them locally, and generates markdown transcripts and summaries with flagged key moments. It solves the problem of capturing and reviewing meeting content without relying on cloud services. It is designed for professionals who attend virtual meetings on platforms like Zoom, Teams, and Meet, including IT, operations, and support teams. The app emphasizes privacy by processing everything on-device, with no cloud accounts or meeting bots, and integrates with note-taking tools like Obsidian and Bear.
