What people are saying

Dear Hyprnote Team, I wanted to take a moment to commend you on the impressive work you've done with Hyprnote. Your commitment to privacy, on-device AI, and transparency is truly refreshing in today's software landscape. The fact that all transcription and summarization happens locally and live!—without compromising data security—makes Hyprnote a standout solution, especially for those of us in compliance-sensitive environments. The live transcription is key for me. It saves a landmark step to transcribe each note myself using macwhisper. Much more handy they way you all do this. The Calendar function is cool too. I am a telephysician and my notes are much more quickly done. Seeing 6-8 patients daily and tested it yesteday. So yes, my job is session heavy. Add to that being in psychiatry where document making sessions become voluminous, my flow is AI dependent to make reports stand out. Accuracy is key for patient care. Hyprnote is now part of that process. Thank you for your dedication and for building a tool that not only saves time, but also gives peace of mind. I look forward to seeing Hyprnote continue to evolve Cheers!

Guys at Hyprnote (YC S25) are wild. Had a call with John Jeong about their product (privacy-first AI notepad). Next day? They already shipped a first version of the context feature we discussed 🤯 24 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬. A conversation turned into production As Product Engineer at Waveful, where we also prioritize rapid execution, I deeply respect this level of speed. The ability to ship this fast while maintaining quality, is what separates great teams from the rest 🔥 Btw give an eye to Hyprnote: 100% local AI processing Zero cloud dependency Real privacy Almost daily releases Their repo: https://lnkd.in/dKCtxkA3 (mac only rn but they're releasing for windows very soon) Been using it for daily tasks, even simple note-taking is GREAT because I can review everything late, make action points etc. Mad respect to the team. This is how you build in 2025. 🚀

Been using Hypernote for a while now, truly one of the best AI apps I've used all year. Like they said, the best thing since sliced bread

I love the flexibility that @tryhyprnote gives me to integrate personal notes with AI summaries. I can quickly jot down important points during the meeting without getting distracted, then trust that the AI will capture them in full detail for review afterwards.
