Stop Uploading Your Meetings. Seriously.
A friend of ours once said:
“I recorded a therapy session and found it in my Otter cloud dashboard later. Unencrypted. Forever.”
That’s when it clicked. We’ve all gotten way too comfortable uploading everything to the cloud — from internal meetings to late-night voice notes to, apparently, therapy.
So we built something different.
What We’re Doing Wrong
Let’s face it:
1. We want quick transcripts 2. We want smart summaries 3. We don’t want our thoughts shared with unknown companies
But most cloud-based tools do exactly that. They: - Store your voice recordings - Train on your data - Offer convenience at the cost of control

A Local-Only Way to Think Out Loud
StickyNotesAI doesn’t upload anything. Ever.
- Transcription: ✅ Done locally
- Summaries & Q&A: ✅ Done locally
- Syncing your deepest thoughts to a server: ❌ Nope
"Imagine Otter, but it took a vow of silence and joined a privacy cult."
Perfect For:
- Therapists and coaches who need offline confidentiality - Founders and teams working on sensitive strategy - Creative folks who prefer to work without data trails - Anyone with an allergy to fine print
---
Tech Without Trust Issues
We use:
- Whisper.cpp for audio processing - Local LLMs to generate insights + chat - Electron to run the whole thing offline - Zero API calls during transcription
