A private, offline notebook that turns your own sources into reports, decks and briefings
Install a normal desktop app on Windows, macOS or Linux and run it with no account. With a local model you can pull the network cable and keep querying your indexed sources, since nothing is sent to a vendor.
Choose a bundled local Qwen or Gemma model at first launch, or paste a key for OpenAI, Anthropic or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. The model is a setting rather than a fixed vendor choice.
Turn one set of sources into slide decks, reports, briefing notes, podcasts, mind maps, flashcards, quizzes, Markdown, Word, PDF, HTML and spreadsheet outputs — generated and stored locally.
Optional plugins pull research from Google Search, Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Google Maps, Amazon, Walmart, Indeed and the open web, and anyone can register their own MCP server.
Turn audio and video into accurate, searchable text in minutes
Upload MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV and 20+ other formats, or paste a YouTube link, and receive a timestamped transcript in minutes.
Each transcript can be condensed into short summaries, a visual mind map and highlight questions so long recordings become skimmable.
Transcribe in more than sixty languages, label who said what, and use AI translation to move the transcript into another language.
Export as TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT or CSV for subtitles, documents and spreadsheets, or share a read-only link to the transcript.
Offers exceptionally fast transcription with massive file capacity, though with fewer structured mind map features than UniScribe.
