QuietHint listens to your call on your Mac and suggests a short reply while a question is still being asked. No bot joins the meeting and audio never leaves your device: speech is transcribed on the Mac, with your words kept apart from theirs. Hints land in a small overlay during the call, not in a summary afterwards. Works with any call app, uses your own Anthropic key, free to try on Apple silicon.
Every meeting assistant I tried wanted two things from me: a bot in my calls and my recordings on its servers. I did not want to give it either.
QuietHint stays on your Mac. Nothing joins the meeting, and the audio never leaves the machine. Speech is transcribed on the device, your words kept apart from theirs, and when a question comes up a short reply appears in a small overlay while you are still talking. It works with the call app you already use, on your own Anthropic key, so nobody else ever sees your conversations. Not even us.
One question for you: what is the thing you most wish you had known in the middle of your last call?
I am here all day. Ask me anything about how it works, and about what it does not do yet.
Pavel, Mangoosy
