Recap's core privacy protection mechanism is to achieve zero data leakage through localized processing. All audio recording, text transcription (based on WhisperKit) and summary generation (based on Ollama or OpenRouter) is done locally on the user's device, with no cloud transfer. Its open source nature allows users to review the code and further validate security. This design is particularly well suited for handling confidential business meetings or sensitive content, and is a significant departure from similar tools that rely on cloud services.
