Recap protects privacy through the following mechanisms:
- Fully local processing: Audio recording, transcription and summary generation are all done on the user's device, and the data is not uploaded to the cloud, avoiding the risk of third-party access.
- open source: The project is hosted on GitHub and allows users to review the code logic to ensure there are no hidden data collection practices.
- Optional networking capabilities: Networking is required to generate summaries using OpenRouter, but this is optional and the default Ollama summary is completely offline.
- Future Enhancement: Developers plan to introduce macOS Keychain to securely store API tokens, further enhancing the protection of sensitive information.
This design is particularly well suited to handling business confidentiality or sensitive meeting content.
