Katip helps you save time by turning long audio recordings into useful summaries and to-do lists. Upload your meeting, lecture, or interview recording, and Katip will:

1. Transcribe the audio to text using OpenAI's Whisper
2. Summarize the key points and important decisions
3. Extract action items and create a task list

Available as a web app, desktop app (Windows, macOS, Linux), and mobile app (Android).

• 🎙️ Audio Transcription - Convert speech to text with Whisper
• 📝 Smart Summaries - Get structured summaries of main topics and decisions
• 🤖 Local LLM Support - Use Ollama, LM Studio, or Llama.cpp for private, offline summarization
• ✅ Task Extraction - Automatically identify and list action items
• 🌍 Multi-language - Support for 10 languages
• 💻 Cross-platform - Web, desktop, and mobile apps
• 🎨 Modern UI - Clean interface with dark mode support
• 🔒 Open Source - Fully transparent and customizable
