Last updated: April 2026
Record Any Audio
Capture system audio, microphone, or both at the same time using native Apple frameworks. Works with any app: Zoom, Google Meet, podcasts, lectures. No browser extension, no bot joining your call.
Know Who Said What
On-device transcription via Whisper, optimized for Apple Silicon. Speaker detection identifies each voice and color-codes their contributions. No audio leaves your Mac.
Local AI, No Cloud Required
Five bundled AI models handle summaries, action items, and formatting right on your machine. Users who want cloud AI can bring their own API keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google.
Instant Summaries
One click turns a raw transcript into a structured summary with key points, action items, and decisions. Export to PDF, Markdown, RTF, JSON, or audio formats.
AI Assistant
Ask questions about your recordings, extract specific details, or reformat transcripts. All processing happens locally unless you choose to use your own cloud API keys.
Most transcription apps send your audio to a server.
Thoth doesn't.
Turn off your Wi-Fi and it works exactly the same. Meeting recordings, medical appointments, legal consultations, private conversations: everything stays on your hardware. No account required, no telemetry, no data collection.

About the Developer
Thoth is built by Matthieu Veinhard, a laser physicist (PhD) based in Bordeaux, France. His career has spanned attosecond physics research, coherent beam combining of 61-channel femtosecond lasers, and industrial R&D on high-power laser systems, with published work in Optics Letters and SPIE conferences along the way. Building complex instrumentation software in Python and LabVIEW has always been part of the job.
Thoth started as a personal tool. He kept running into the same problem: every meeting transcription app wanted his audio on a server. So in late 2025, he built his own: solo, no team, no investors. Every feature was added because he needed it himself. The privacy model isn't marketing; it's an architectural constraint baked in from the first commit.
