Pauta

Key facts: Pauta launched on Product Hunt on November 4, 2026. It records, transcribes and summarises your meetings on your own computer, on Mac and Windows, with no cloud, no account and no server, and it works even offline. It detects when a meeting starts, transcribes the microphone or system audio, learns each speaker's voice, organises recordings by project, and answers questions across all of them.

Plans: One-time licence at R$29.90 (down from R$80). A free trial is available. macOS 13 Ventura or newer, and Windows 10 or 11.

Best for: People who want meeting notes without a bot joining the call or audio leaving their computer. Who should skip it: anyone who needs cloud sync across devices.
