Earnote Launches On-Device AI Note-Taking
Earnote records lectures, meetings, and explanations, then uses Whisper and on-device AI to create structured notes, tasks, flashcards, and PDF study sheets. The free, MIT-licensed app requires no account or subscription and supports Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
Earnote’s strongest pitch is not novelty but trust: it makes AI note-taking practical without sending sensitive recordings to a cloud service.
- –Local transcription and summarization support private meetings, lectures, and offline use
- –Flashcards, Anki export, and study sheets give it a stronger education workflow than typical meeting notetakers
- –Integrations with Notion, Obsidian, Reminders, Todoist, and other tools make the output actionable
- –The open-source Mac app gives developers a transparent alternative to subscription-based competitors
- –Cloud model support remains optional, preserving flexibility when local models are not sufficient
