About Trace
A macOS menu-bar app that turns any conversation into a clean markdown transcript, with an optional on-device summary. Runs a local speech model entirely on your Mac, in dozens of languages. The moment is pinned to your transcript at the exact timestamp. Trace provides you with clear markdown transcripts and summaries that you can use anywhere. Either copy the markdown from Trace directly or have it place the file anywhere in your filesystem. Trace can also send files directly to Obsidian, Bear, Drafts or Things with a button press.
About Use GLM
TokenGO self-operated inference API for open-weight LLMs and video models. OpenAI-compatible. US-governed. If a failure occurs, requests are seamlessly routed to fallback channels to ensure uninterrupted service. Our system strictly enforces a zero-retention policy: we do not log, store, or share any of your data. Some of our optimizations have been adopted by frontier labs and are running right now on official endpoints. We've optimized kernels other providers run unchanged to pull more throughput from the same silicon.
