Show HN: Platypus – Local meeting transcription, notes, and chat (Tauri, Rust)

Hi HN — I built Platypus as I wanted to combine note taking, live transcription and knowledge base management in one app. Granola / Notebook LM free local alternative. It's a Tauri/Rust desktop app that does on-device meeting transcription via whisper.cpp, notes in TipTap, and per-project HNSW vector search across your knowledge base. You bring your own LLM (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, or local Ollama).A few things that were interesting to figure out:Zoom/Teams meeting auto-detec

Show HN: SuperVoiceMode universal voice layer for AI-assisted development

I wanted to see if I could one-shot build a dictation tool for my own use. I built it. Surprisingly easy, except for all the nuanced edge cases I ended up having to throw in since then.Then it kept growing. Wouldn't it be cool if i could talk to a coding agent directly, like the Star Trek computer? Oh, maybe like Iron Man (says everyone..).Why am i spinning up another terminal to run research on this? Hey Iris, can you run the research and throw it in the Vault? Let me know when you're

Show HN: Brifly – stop re-explaining your codebase to Claude Code every week

Hey HN -- I built Brifly because I was tired of reexplaining the same architecture to Claude Code/AI Agents every time.You can have a memory layer where you store everything about your company or project. When an AI agent is used by an engineer, you can simply ask it to use the CLI, and it will go and retrieve the relevant information.There is also management of who last edited a file, so you can understand who is responsible for the latest context level changes stored in Brifly.You can cre

Show HN: Ramble, iOS voice notes that send webhooks

Hi HN, I'm JPI wanted to automate my voice notes - pocket the phone (or watch), walk and talk, then send the transcript to my agent for processing. So I built Ramble for myself.It's a simple app. An on-ramp into your systems. Free. Open source. No accounts.Why a new app? 1) Apple Voice Memos are great, but no way to automate the result. You're also stuck with Apple's transcription (it got slightly better in iOS26 but still not the best) 2) Voice transcription in Claude /

We scanned 100 Smithery MCP servers, 22 flagged, here's what we found

We built Bawbel (https://bawbel.io), an open-source scanner for agentic AI components. Released v1.0.1 this week. Before announcing anywhere, we wanted to answer one question: are real MCP servers actually vulnerable to the attack classes we've been documenting?So we scanned the top 100 servers on Smithery. Here's what came back.100 servers scanned.22 had at least one finding. 28 findings total. 4 CRITICAL, 24 HIGH. That's 1 in 5 servers flagging something. Some genuine,
