Igaveup is a locally running note-taking and screen recording application designed to automate the process of capturing, transcribing, and summarizing meetings or conversations. The tool allows users to record any screen, window, or application, capturing both microphone and system audio independently for clean mixing. Once a recording is stopped, Igaveup generates a full AI-powered transcript with timestamps and an instant summary, highlighting TL;DR sections, key points, action items, and chapter markers. Every line in the transcript is clickable, letting users jump directly to the corresponding moment in the video for efficient review.
The application is tailored for users who want to avoid manual note-taking and prefer automated, actionable summaries without the need for cloud dependency or account creation. Recordings, transcripts, and summaries are saved locally, and users can browse and replay sessions at any time. Igaveup supports multiple AI transcription providers, including OpenAI Whisper by default, with the option to switch to Deepgram for different speed or accuracy preferences. Transcription is performed in parallel chunks, minimizing wait times even for lengthy recordings.
Igaveup is available for Windows and macOS (with both Apple Silicon and Intel versions), and can be downloaded as an MSI, portable executable, or DMG installer. The tool operates on a "bring your own API key" (BYOK) model, meaning users supply their own API keys for the transcription provider of their choice, ensuring that data processing occurs directly between the user's machine and the provider. There is no shared backend, no accounts, no vendor lock-in, and no hidden usage. The core application is free to use with BYOK, with plans for an optional cloud-based add-on and account-based features such as cross-device sync and secure storage in the future.
Designed for anyone seeking to capture and summarize important conversations with minimal effort, Igaveup positions itself as an alternative to browser-only or cloud-dependent solutions, focusing on privacy, control, and ease of use.
