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 Verdict

Compare candidates on six evidence-cited dimensions and produce a defensible hiring document, written, signed, filed. Free to try, no card. In minutes it issues a scored, evidence-cited verdict: a ranked shortlist or a head-to-head you can defend to your team. Six dimensions, Capability, Track record, Trajectory, Influence, Domain edge, Risk surface, each scored 1–5, out of 30. Scoring disregards identity by instruction, names, gender, and age are set aside, and in a head-to-head the candidate order is randomized before a blind synthesis assigns the scores.
