Pensieve is a local-only desktop app for recording meetings, discussions, memos or other audio

snippets from locally running applications for you to always go back and review your

previous discussions.

It uses a bundled Whisper instance to transcribe the audio locally, and optionally

summarizes the transcriptions with an LLM. You can connect a local Ollama instance to

be used for summarization, or provide an OpenAI key and have ChatGPT summarize the

transcriptions for you.

If you choose Ollama for summarization (or disable summarization entirely), all your

data stays on your machine and is never sent to any external service. You can record

as many meetings as you want, and manage your data yourself without any external

providers involved.

Pensieve automatically registers a tray icon and runs in the background, which

makes it easy to start and stop recordings at any time. You can also configure

Pensieve in many ways, like customizing which models to use for transcription

and summarization, or various audio processing settings.
