Loofah started as the meeting notetaker I wanted: local transcription, ordinary files, and no service getting between me and my notes. It has since become the place where I keep more of my working knowledge.

A session can start as a recorded meeting, an imported recording or transcript, a note you write, or Markdown an agent creates from another tool. That means research, project context, decisions, and useful material from elsewhere can live beside meeting notes in one searchable vault. Agents can create sessions, add to notes, tag them, and attach source files through the CLI without editing vault internals.

The app still records your microphone and system audio without sending a bot into the call. It’s free as in beer 🍺: there is no account, subscription, cloud backend, or telemetry. Your vault stays on your Mac and remains useful outside the app. If you want generated summaries, connect your own hosted provider or a local model.
