Humla
Local-first AI meeting notes for Mac. No bot, open source.
What this is
A Mac app that records and transcribes meetings entirely on-device, no bot joins the call. Free and open source, with optional cloud or self-hosted sync for teams.
Our one-line summary — not the founder’s tagline.
- How it works
- Records mic and call audio directly through macOS with no bot joining the meeting, then transcribes, labels speakers, and writes a summary that fuses your notes with the transcript. Runs fully on-device using Whisper on Apple Silicon, or with your own AI key.
- What's different
- No bot joins the call, and it can run entirely on-device with local SQLite storage and no telemetry.
- Pricing
- Free and MIT-licensed, with optional paid team sync via Humla Cloud or self-hosting.
- Best for
- Mac users who want private, on-device meeting transcription without a bot joining their calls.

League price & chart
No money. No seat. It goes on your record — and in 28 days reality settles it.
Calls are closed while we rebuild accounts. You can still read every one of them.
Dev. Launched 13d ago on Product Hunt, picking up 9 votes. Today, the site itself changed 7d ago — evidence it's still shipping, not just announcing.
Quiet for 6 days — no penalty yet, but quiet doesn't stay free.
We check this site every day, ourselves. A founder can post “still working on it” — a claim like that doesn't price. What we price is what we can verify from the outside: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”
The market viewHow this launch is priced and ranked in our league — the investor side of the page.
ranked by the reality anchor, not the market price
It launched on Product Hunt with 9 votes.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
2 quiet days in between are left out — nothing happened on them. A launch that goes quiet eases down a little at a time — never a cliff you could have run from the night before.
Daily tracking just started for this launch — the first point is on the board. A second reading lands with tomorrow's run, and the curve builds from there.
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day — the crowd's attention.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.

The board it did best on sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also placed high on that board too — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
