Show HN: A botless meeting recorder and summarizer that runs in the browser

Original Text

I built a browser app for recording calls and turning them into transcripts/summaries without inviting a meeting bot.

The current version is BYOK: you provide an OpenAI API key, stored locally in your browser. Recordings/projects stay in browser storage; selected audio/transcript text is sent to OpenAI only when you run transcription/summary.

I am testing whether the wedge is real: no bot in the meeting, no SaaS workspace for recordings, summaries/exports afterward.

I would appreciate feedback on the trust boundary and whether BYOK is acceptable for a first version.

I used it once to record a meeting I didn't want to spend 1 hour on, and just needed the summary - the tool captured the meeting audio even after I turned off the laptop audio.
