Today we are launching Karnyx: a meeting intelligence platform built for professionals who live in meetings but refuse to let meetings consume their lives. It is the tool we wished existed when we were running product and engineering teams at high-growth companies.
Why We Built This
We started this company after one too many moments of walking out of a meeting and immediately forgetting what was discussed. Research suggests the average knowledge worker spends 25+ hours per week in meetings, yet most of that context evaporates within hours.
Existing tools felt wrong. Bots that visibly join your call create social friction. Manual note-taking splits your attention. Cloud-first solutions send your most sensitive conversations through third-party infrastructure you do not control.
What Makes Karnyx Different
We built Karnyx around three core principles:
Bot-Free by Design
Ghost Mode captures system audio directly on your Mac. No bot joins your call. No awkward avatar in the participant list. Participants are properly notified about recording — but the meeting flow stays natural.
Privacy as Foundation
Audio processing happens locally on Apple Silicon. Transcripts are encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). Enterprise customers get custom data residency and full audit logs.
Mac-Native Obsession
We built for one platform and built it exceptionally well. macOS gives us access to system-level capabilities that make bot-free capture possible. We embrace the platform fully.
What You Can Do with Karnyx
Karnyx turns every meeting into searchable, actionable intelligence:
- Capture every meeting without a bot on Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, or in person
- Get AI summaries with decisions, topics, sentiment, and key takeaways
- Auto-extract action items with ownership and deadlines
- Build a people-indexed memory graph across all your professional relationships
- Search semantically across all meetings with natural language queries
- See pre-meeting context before every call: last interactions, open action items, relevant discussions
Karnyx is the meeting intelligence platform we always wanted: bot-free capture, local-first privacy, and Mac-native polish. We built it for ourselves. Now we are sharing it with you.
Who Karnyx Is For
Karnyx is built for professionals who:
- Attend 10+ meetings per week and struggle to remember context across conversations
- Value privacy and want meeting data processed locally, not in the cloud
- Prefer native Mac apps over Electron wrappers and web apps
- Need bot-free capture that does not disrupt meeting dynamics
- Want AI that works for them, not marketing hype with poor execution

Karnyx is available now for macOS 13 and later. Plans start at $29 per user per month, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required.
