threadfork Information

threadfork is a local-first meeting transcription tool for macOS. Your audio is processed entirely on your device using on-device AI. There's no cloud uploads, no third-party servers, and no data you can't locate on your computer. Most AI transcription tools send your audio to the cloud. That works fine for team standups but doesn't work when confidentiality actually matters. Built for professionals with confidentiality stakes: - Consultants whose clients expect discretion - Practitioners bound by ethics codes and professional standards - Teams in regulated industries where data handling matters - Anyone who's ever hesitated before hitting "record" on a cloud tool What you get: - Accurate transcription running locally on Apple M1+ - Speaker detection so you know who said what - Searchable meeting history — find the exact moment something was said - Summaries and insights generated on-device, not in someone else's cloud Why local-first? Privacy policies change. Breaches happen. The only way to guarantee your meeting data stays private is to never send it anywhere in the first place. threadfork isn't "privacy-friendly." It's private by architecture. There's no server to breach because there's no server. We're a small, independent team building tools for people who take confidentiality seriously - and who've been waiting for AI meeting tools to catch up.
