Hello Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Bakshi, the creator of Silk Wave Voice.
At some point I realized that macOS now provides everything you need to build a privacy-first meeting assistant: on-device speech-to-text, mic and system audio recording APIs, and free chat GPT summarization via Apple Intelligence. All the pieces were there, just no one had put them together in one app. So I created Silkwave Voice, a one-time $14.99 purchase (launch price, will increase later) with a 7-day free trial, no subscriptions, no per-minute fees, and no server costs.
Silkwave Voice is a macOS app that does three things well:
🎙️ Record: mic, system audio, or both (perfect for Zoom, Mate, podcasts, no third-party drivers required)
✍️ Transcribe: in real-time, on-device, in 10 languages using Apple’s speech-to-text models. No internet required, no audio leaves your Mac
🧠 Summarize: Structured summaries with key topics, action items and decisions powered by ChatGPT via Apple Intelligence
Plus a menu bar app for quick access to your entire recording library and full-text search.
Since everything runs on your Mac, there’s nothing for us to charge you a monthly fee. It is now available on the Mac App Store.
I’d love to hear: What’s one feature that would change your current transcription workflow?
Happy to answer any questions. I’ll be here all day. Thanks for checking it out! 🙏
