Good fit for Single users who want a Whisper-powered desktop transcriber with a modern UI; no command line, no server.
Weak at Single-user desktop only — no team workspaces or shared transcripts.

Replaces these SaaS
- Otter.ai · Meeting transcription / AI notes
Download the Vibe installer for macOS/Windows/Linux from thewh1teagle.github.io/vibe. Drop in an audio/video file or record system audio; Vibe runs Whisper locally and produces a transcript with timestamps + speaker hints. Summarization via the built-in LLM panel (point at Ollama or a hosted API). Otter recordings export as .mp3 or .mp4 — feed those into Vibe to backfill historical transcripts.
