Ask HN: Best meeting transcription daemon for macOS?

Granola are cracking down on their auth and I can no longer pull my meeting notes out and put them in Obsidian (my plugin is gonna have to be deprecated: https://github.com/tomelliot/obsidian-granola-sync/).

That means I'm gonna need a different meeting transcription/summary pipeline. There's a cambrian explosion of meeting transcription tools (https://hn.algolia.com/?q=Show+HN%3A+transcription). It's awesome.

I've tried some, but haven't found one that works how I want. Can you help me find one that suits my use case?

- daemon runs in the background

- uses local models for transcription, diarization/speaker identification

- primary interface is CLI/no UI. It should just happen in the background.

- GUI is secondary. Maybe a button in the menu bar for starting/stopping a meeting

optional/secondary

- pulls in calendar info for titling and attendees

- cleans the transcript

- generates summary
