Your second brain,
on your own hardware.

Goanna Recall records what you said, works out who said it, and turns the conversation into notes, to-dos and a shopping list — on a computer you already own. No cloud subscription. No per-minute meter. No third party listening in.

01What it is

Recall is a small, private meeting recorder built for people who are sick of paying a monthly cloud tax to have a bot listen to their day. You press record on your phone. The audio gets uploaded (over your own network) to a machine you own — a PC with a GPU, an Apple silicon Mac, or even a Raspberry Pi if you're patient. That machine transcribes it, identifies each speaker, and hands the transcript to a local AI model that writes clean notes, picks out follow-ups, and drops shopping items straight onto a list grouped by store.

You get the "AI meeting notes" experience — without the bit where your conversations end up in someone else's training data or behind a $29/month paywall.

02How it works

• Capture — the phone (Android app + home widgets + lock-screen tile, or the web app on anything else) records and uploads to your Recall server.
• Transcribe — WhisperX large-v3 converts audio to text, with word timings.
• Who's talking — pyannote splits the audio by speaker; a SpeechBrain voiceprint match tags known voices ("Edward", "Sean") automatically. Everyone else stays as "Speaker 2, 3…" until you name them.
• Understand — a local Ollama model reads the transcript and writes short notes, follow-ups, and shopping items (with store tags: Bunnings, Coles, Anywhere…).
• Act — follow-ups become to-dos on Today. Shopping lands on the Shopping tab, grouped by store. A push arrives on your phone 15 minutes before anything's due.

03What you get

• One-tap record — Android app with a home-screen widget and a lock-screen Quick-Settings tile. Or the web app on any phone.
• Today — a rolling list of what you need to do, seeded from your own voice notes and meetings. Overdue items roll into tomorrow, not into the void.
• Shopping — say "add batteries and gaffer tape from Bunnings" and it lands on the list, grouped by store, ready when you walk in.
• Push reminders — anything with a due-by pings you 15 minutes ahead.
• Notes forever, audio for a month — recordings auto-delete after 30 days (heads-up 3 days out); the notes and transcript stick around. Archive anything you want to keep forever.
• Household, not tenant — voiceprints stay on your box. They are never pooled with anyone else's, ever.

04Under the hood

• Front door — Flask + SQLite + Caddy (auto-TLS) at recall.cliq.im.
• Worker — a small Python service on any machine with a GPU. Runs WhisperX + pyannote + SpeechBrain + Ollama. Sequential pipeline, so a 12 GB card is plenty.
• Companion app — Flutter build, ~50 MB APK, sideload straight from recall.cliq.im/static/recall.apk. iOS build coming.
• Two authors on the notes — Whisper does audio→text. Ollama does text→notes. Nothing else touches the audio.

05Who it's for

• People with a Plaud pin, tired of the subscription creep.
• People who run a small business off a phone and a notebook, and lose half the notebook.
• People who already own a decent computer and would rather it earn its keep.
• People who don't want a US SaaS holding transcripts of their kitchen-table conversations.
