Oats Ships a Free, Open-Source, On-Device Meeting Notetaker Against Granola, Otter and Fireflies
Oats drew 58 upvotes on Product Hunt today as a free and open-source meeting notetaker that runs entirely on device, aimed squarely at a category where Granola, Otter and Fireflies all charge monthly for cloud transcription. The architectural claim is the pricing claim: if transcription runs locally there is no per-minute inference cost to mark up, which removes the seat subscription the incumbents are built on. Alongside Epilude Notetaker and GhostWriter on the same board, local capture keeps showing up as the entire differentiator rather than a privacy checkbox.
