Untapped

Recapstack

A local-first meeting-memory layer that ingests transcripts and exports from any notetaker — Otter, Notion, Google Meet, Granola, or a self-hosted recorder — and merges them into one private, on-device searchable history.

01

What to build

  • MVP

    A desktop app with import connectors for Notion export files, Google Meet Doc/Calendar attachments, and Otter/Granola exports, normalized into a local vector index with natural-language Q&A over the whole history.

  • Why it can be better

    No existing local tool ingests notes from other platforms — Meetily, Hyprnote, and the long tail of solo repos only understand their own recordings, forcing users into per-tool silos; this is the first product to unify them without touching vendor cloud storage.

  • Revenue model

    Paid desktop app with tiered pricing by number of connected sources, sold to professionals who already pay for 2+ notetaking tools and want one memory layer across them.

  • Target user

    Consultants, founders, and knowledge workers who use multiple meeting tools across clients and calendars.

02

Context

The opportunity this answers

Build a local-first meeting-memory layer for professionals that unifies transcripts from any notetaker or capture mode into one private, searchable history.

Why now

A wave of open-source local-first notetakers built on Rust/Swift/Tauri has already proven demand for on-device processing, with diarization and Whisper models now standard, high-download building blocks anyone can bundle, while search interest for generic 'AI meeting notes' has plateaued — signaling the crowded cloud tier is saturated even as privacy-driven local alternatives keep multiplying, and none of them yet unify capture contexts, ingest rival platforms' exports, or sync back out privately.
