Scribed v0.1.0 — first release 🎉

Scribed is a macOS menu-bar app that turns your meeting recordings into clean, structured Markdown notes — automatically, using your own WhisperX and Ollama servers. Drop a recording into a folder and a minute later a note appears: summary, decisions, action items, and a suggested follow-up email.

It's free, open-source (MIT), and private by design — your audio only ever goes to the servers you configure. No telemetry, no third-party cloud.

Scribed settings

✨ What it does

  • Watches a folder (e.g. a Google-Drive-synced one) for new audio/video and processes each new file end to end.
  • Any format in: local ffmpeg converts .m4a / .opus / .mov / .mp3 / .wav … to WAV.
  • Transcribes on your WhisperX server, summarises with your Ollama model, validates, and writes notes/<name>.md.
  • In-app settings page (served on 127.0.0.1, CSRF-protected) with a Test connection button for your WhisperX + Ollama endpoints.
  • Menu actions: Process now, Copy last transcript, Open last note, Watch interval, Use local Ollama, Settings…, Pause/Resume.
  • Runs at login via ./install-login-item.sh, and a headless CLI (scribed) for one-shot processing.
  • Notifications when a note is ready.

📋 Requirements

macOS · ffmpeg · uv · a reachable WhisperX endpoint · a reachable Ollama endpoint with a model pulled (e.g. llama3.1:8b).

🚀 Quick start

git clone https://github.com/Joanmarcriera/scribed.git
cd scribed
uv sync
./install-login-item.sh      # starts now + at every login

First run opens the Settings page — point it at your WhisperX and Ollama servers and you're done. See the README for details, and PRIVACY.md for exactly what data goes where.

🔒 Privacy

Audio is converted locally, then the WAV is sent to your WhisperX server and the transcript to your Ollama server. Notes and transcripts are stored in cleartext under your home folder. Nothing is sent anywhere else.

🗺️ What's next

Homebrew install, then a notarized .app for Setapp — see ROADMAP.md.
