Reki note

No network needed. A local Whisper model handles it all.
The Problem

Transcription runs locally. 、
 Yet meeting tools still want a monthly subscription.

Whisper runs on any machine. Yet every meeting-notes tool ships your audio to the cloud, charges $20/month, and locks output in a proprietary format. If you're a developer, that should feel wrong.

Before

Sound familiar?

  • Local-capable task, monthly subscription Runs on your CPU, but they charge for cloud
  • Output is PDF or proprietary Won't open in Obsidian
  • Audio uploaded to their cloud Your conversations, their servers
  • No offline mode No network, no transcription
Result
Your PC can handle it, but you're paying monthly
The tool decides, not you
After

Your PC does the work

What action items came out of today's standup?
ANSWER
Three decisions were made:
1. Default to on-device transcription
2. Use cloud (Scribe) only for critical meetings
3. Monthly cost cap set at $30
Source: Engineering Standup 5/7 10:00
03 — Always

Your audio never leaves your machine.

This is what makes Reki fundamentally different. Audio stays on your PC. Transcription runs on a local model. Nothing crosses the network. We never see the contents of your meetings.
