Scrieb

Scrieb is a desktop application for Mac and Windows that records, transcribes, and summarizes audio conversations entirely on the user's device. Unlike cloud-based services, it processes audio locally using Whisper models, ensuring no data is uploaded. Key features include speaker recognition, AI-powered summaries, searchable transcripts, and an offline chat interface to query recordings. It supports various audio formats and meeting platforms by capturing system audio or microphone input directly. Users can export results to DOCX or PDF, customize vocabulary, and choose between different model sizes for performance or accuracy. A free plan allows 1 hour of recording per day, while a Pro license removes limits.

Runs entirely on-device with zero data retention, making it suitable for sensitive industries like law, therapy, and research where cloud uploads are prohibited.
