talat captures your microphone and system audio, transcribes both sides of every conversation in real time, and turns meetings into searchable, editable notes. It's powered entirely by your Mac's Neural Engine: your audio never leaves your machine.
'm Nick, and I built talat because I wanted everything Granola offers — but without my audio living on someone else's servers.
I've been deep in this space for about a year now. It all started when I realized macOS could capture system audio without recording video — something I'd never seen an app do before Granola came along. That discovery sent me down a rabbit hole into Apple's Core Audio taps API, and I eventually built an open source Swift library to make the technology easier for others to use.
Over the past year, I've been slowly connecting the dots: system audio capture, microphone recording, acoustic echo cancellation, automatic meeting detection, and custom notification windows. The real breakthrough came when I found FluidAudio — it runs real-time transcription directly on the Apple Neural Engine, and suddenly everything clicked into place.
It's still early, and there's plenty to improve. Speaker diarisation is rough, and local LLM summaries can be hit or miss. But honestly, the more I use talat myself, the less I care about perfect summaries — and the more I value just having the transcript there, ready to search and reference whenever I need it.
