Capture deliberately
Recording starts only through an explicit user action and remains independent from network availability.
- User-initiated recording
- Offline-safe segment persistence
- Timeline and source timestamps
Private capture and recall / 03
In development
Capture life. Understand it. Live better.
Oatnote turns user-initiated recordings into source-linked transcripts, notes, and proposed actions while keeping review and privacy in the loop.

OatnoteSHIFT KEY / 03The product / 02
A private, local-first system for remembering what was said and deciding what should happen next.
I am shaping the product concept, privacy model, recording and transcription pipeline, source-linked note generation, Action Inbox, and the iPhone-to-Mac experience. Oatnote treats AI output as a proposal to review—not an excuse to invent context or silently change someone’s data.
Keep the source attached
Generated material stays traceable to the transcript instead of becoming detached AI prose.
- Source-linked summaries
- Speaker-aware transcript review
- Protected local audio and timeline context
Review before writing
Tasks, reminders, and other actions are proposals until the user confirms them.
- Action Inbox
- Explicit approve, edit, or reject controls
- Privacy-gated cloud processing when enabled
Product principles / 04
AI assistance without silent authority.
Oatnote is designed around explicit capture, data minimization, source traceability, and reversible user decisions. Sensitive transcript or audio content is not treated as ordinary telemetry.
- No hidden or covert recording
- No raw audio or transcript upload by default
- No invented speaker identity
- No reminder or task creation without review
- Deletion and export controls remain part of the product contract
