    How does this compare to OpenWhispr and similar apps?
  • theturtletalks14 minutes ago
    I’ll add it to my open-source directory[0].

    How does it differ from Muesli[1] and OpenOats[2]?

      Delete Granola bro. We're switching to Strawberry. Did you sign up for Pistachio yet? I sent you an invite to our Gingerbread team. Check your inbox on Syrup. You need to make an Iced Vanilla Latte account to access Almond Croissant. Hold on, lemme add you to Chicken Tikka Masala

    Enable transcription and at the end summarize it, and those are your notes. Anything critical, pressing, or deserves immediate attention, you write it down. That’s it! Not sure why there are so many apps redoing it over and over again in a very similar way.

    Yogurt team - congratulations on your launch. I am not throwing a wrench at you. Those are my thoughts about this category in general.

    Currently using OpenWhispr. What is the difference between the two?

    Gonna give this a try! I too stopped all the other subscriptions and have been looking for something that works well.
    • brownrout21 minutes ago
      Awesome. Hope this can fill that gap for you.

    Is it possible to choose which model or models are used for transcription? Are other languages, such as French, supported?
    • brownrout25 minutes ago
      Other languages yep. Model is automatically chosen and downloaded based on your what your computer's hardware can support.

    I made something like this myself but because I didn't want anyone to know I was doing it, no bot in the call, I couldn't diarise the notes. I have what's been said, but not who said it. Did you manage to solve this?
    • brownrout38 minutes ago
      Yeah Yogurt uses accessibility permissions to grab speaker names from Zoom, Google Meet, etc. But that said, I recommend you let people know if you're going to take a recording.

    I also got frustrated with Granola earlier this year and have been building my replacement - Noted: https://takenoted.com/

    It shares similar principles but is (currently) closed source and mac-only.

    Take a look at anarlog as well - it's a great project and I wish I'd found it earlier as I probably would have contributed instead of starting my own: https://anarlog.so/

    Let me know if you want to compare notes - I am sure we have hit a lot of the same issues.

    • brownrout26 minutes ago
      Compare notes ha :) I tried Anarlog and still wanted to build Yogurt for personal use. But the more open source options the better.

    Excited to give it a whirl. Great work!

    looks amazing! if you used AI coding agents to build this, any reason why you couldn't refactor this to use gpui or rune to still get cross platform but have better performance?
    • brownrout36 minutes ago
      We wanted to leverage the React ecosystem to get the UI we wanted, so went with Electron.

    Hmm... granola is usually yummy with yogurt.
    • brownrout39 minutes ago
      Both healthy, delicious options ;)

    The name reminds me of the line in Spaceballs:

    "Yogurt!? Yogurt! I hate yogurt! Even with strawberries!"

    • brownrout27 minutes ago
      Just in time for Spaceballs 2
