Yes, a local-only always-on recorder/transcriber would be a killer product. Combine with a local LLM for summarization, and a simple search engine. But there's no way in hell I'm paying a subscription for this, or letting some 3rd party have this data.

It doesn't seem like this should actually be that difficult to build an open-source version of, modulo battery-life concerns.
