funny story: 8 months ago, when @im_roy_lee was looking for a way to capture system audio, we considered sharing tech but decided not to. wild how that choice changed everything - they became the notetaker, we became the live sales coaching tool with super low latency.

i’m confused? they did capture system audio, i even showed them how to achieve this in electron which i understand they are (or were using). this has become trivial in electron since also just that the docs are a bit out of date. i dont even think the issue was that they couldn’t do it rather the issue was that it required too many steps

$15k for whoever can build me a native mac virtual audio driver so our Electron app can capture system audio w/o third party software. DM me your timeline (faster is better) + any proof you can pull it off.

for macos, isn’t it just core audio and aggregate device tap? is there a lower level api you guys are using?

yes

some points: Electron's system audio capture has a 60~250ms latency in avg, since it goes through hardware → software layer → Electron bridge. however, our method captures audio directly at the hardware level, so latency is just ~3ms. + we also don’t use Electron or Tauri. at that time, we wanted to prove the value of our tech. but we realized we don't have to prove in that way ;)

But are they honestly just a notetaker app now?

imho cluely was always just a notetaker

lol i remember that post, still have it saved they ended up making their own right?

they forked blackhole first, then they're using recall's desktop sdk rn

When will this be available for windows?

i think it would take more than a month. building windows app is not that hard, but we have lots of top-priority features to build rn

Next time they should ping me for recording infrastructure. :-)
