Why we included this project

For people who sit through endless meetings or are deep in technical interview prep, Natively is a desktop recorder with real value. It captures calls and transcribes them in real time, then hands the audio to an LLM that produces structured notes, action items, and summaries, with a separate mode for live coding interview help. Everything runs on your own machine, transcripts stay searchable through local RAG, and you bring your own API keys instead of paying a subscription, which appeals to privacy-conscious users who don't want conversations processed by a third-party cloud. Since the code is source-available rather than fully open, it best suits individuals and non-commercial users who want a self-hosted alternative to hosted note-takers, not teams planning to vendor or redistribute it. It also works as a practical reference for anyone curious about building an Electron-based local AI copilot with real-time audio capture and local retrieval.
