About Trace
A macOS menu-bar app that turns any conversation into a clean markdown transcript, with a local speech model running entirely on-device. One global shortcut brings up a small bar at the bottom of your screen. It captures your mic and the system audio as separate tracks, labels who said what, and lets you flag key moments mid-call that sit inline at the right timestamp. No bot joins the call, nothing leaves your Mac, no account, no subscription.
