Show HN: Yogurt – Free, private, open-source alternative to Granola

Eric has created an open-source, free desktop app called Yogurt that uses on-device AI models to transcribe, summarize, and chat with meeting notes. Unlike Granola, Yogurt is open-source, free, and private, with meeting transcripts and recordings stored locally on the user's computer. Yogurt uses Electron for cross-platform compatibility and leverages whisper.cpp for transcription, Apple's SpeechAnalyzer for on-device speech analysis, and a local open weight LLM for call summaries and questions. The app also includes features like echo detection, global/folder/local level search, and auto-end recordings. Eric hopes that Yogurt will be useful for those who have held out on using AI note tools due to privacy or cost concerns, or for those who want to switch from cloud-based tools to a free and open-source alternative that feels great to use.
