What is Hyprnote
Hyprnote is a privacy-first AI notepad for meetings. It's open-source, runs locally, and works without bots joining your calls.
- Transcribe and summarize locally or with your own models
- No data leaves your device unless you choose cloud features
- Built with Tauri for native performance
During the meeting: Hyprnote will listen to everything you hear, while you take some quick notes.
After the meeting: Hyprnote crafts a personalized summary of the meeting by enhancing your notes.
Note-taking reduces cognitive load. We're extending that idea: what other cognitive burdens can we offload? Today it's notes. Tomorrow, email, calendar, and broader workflow - an AI-native executive assistant that actually works for you.
- Use on-device models for complete privacy
- Bring any AI model - cloud or local
- Own your data completely
- No vendor lock-in
Like Apple Notes, but built for meetings. Like an assistant that records, understands, and organizes - on your terms.
Hyprnote was born from frustration.
John's sales background meant living through countless meetings where existing tools transcribed but didn't go further. As a heavy note-taker for over 20 years who has tried every app in the market - Obsidian, Logseq, Apple Notes, and more - he has very specific taste and strong opinions about what a note-taking tool should be.
Yujong's open-source background brought the conviction that solutions must be transparent and community-driven. Create massive value first, capture some of it later.
Together, we wanted craft and simplicity. Trustworthy, reliable, uncompromising.
LLMs changed everything. Ideas prototype faster, models run locally, hardware keeps improving. On-device AI assistants went from impossible to real.
Most AI tools force you into their ecosystem, their models, their rules. Locked into subscriptions, dependent on cloud services, no real control. Hyprnote proves another path exists.
- Model flexibility - On-device, cloud, or mix and match
- Data ownership - Local-first, privacy-first
- Open source - Transparent, extensible, community-driven
- Future-proof - Built for the shift to local AI
You shouldn't need enterprise budgets to have powerful, flexible AI tools that respect your autonomy.
We believe your notes should live as files, not database rows. File-based systems aren't a relic - they're a cognitive model that mirrors how humans naturally organize information. When notes live as files, they feel like part of you. When they live as opaque blobs behind an API, they feel like someone else's product.
Hyprnote is file-based and local-first, so it doesn't have to live in isolation. It can sit alongside your existing vault, read from your knowledge base, and write back into it. We're not building another walled garden - we're building a tool that fits into the cortex.
Hyprnote today is a notetaker. Tomorrow, much more.
