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 WebMotion

Compose video in the DOM, encode it with WebCodecs, download an MP4. No FFmpeg, no headless Chrome, no render farm. Every frame is a pure function of the frame index. The frame number is drawn by the scene, so scrubbing anywhere keeps it honest. Everything visible is a pure function of the current frame. Give the renderer a frame index and it draws exactly one image. Seeking is exact because there is no state to wind forward.
