Why SceneCap

Everything your meeting tools shouldn't be.

Most tools either invade your meeting or force every workflow through the cloud. SceneCap stays local by default and lets you opt into cloud summary when you need it.

🚫 Meeting bot joining your call Records locally, invisibly
🔒 Cloud processing forced on every recording Local-first, cloud summary only if you enable it
💰 $20/month subscription BYOK — use your own API key

How it works

Three steps. Zero friction.

1

Record

Capture screen and audio with one click. System audio and microphone, locally.

2

Transcribe

On-device speech-to-text powered by WhisperKit. No internet required.

3

Summarize

AI extracts decisions, TODOs, and risks into structured Markdown. Your API key, your model.

Features

Privacy-first. Built for people who think twice before uploading.

🏠 Local-first architecture

Recordings and transcripts stay on your machine by default. Cloud summary is opt-in and runs with your own API key.

🤖 Hybrid AI

On-device transcription with WhisperKit. Cloud summaries via your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini key.

📝 Structured output

Decisions, TODOs, open questions, risks, and technical notes — not vague "key takeaways."

📷 Screen + audio capture

ScreenCaptureKit-powered recording with system audio and microphone input. HUD overlay, pause/resume.

🔒 Keychain-secured keys

API keys stored in macOS Keychain — never written to disk in plaintext, never sent to our servers.

🚀 Native macOS

Built with SwiftUI and AppKit. No Electron, no web wrapper. Fast, light, and feels right at home.

Real output

What your notes actually look like.

Engineering-focused summaries you can paste straight into your issue tracker.

Decisions

  • Migrate user auth from JWT to session tokens — security audit recommendation
  • Ship v2 API with breaking changes; provide 90-day deprecation window for v1
  • Use PostgreSQL instead of DynamoDB for the billing service

TODOs

  • @alex: Write migration script for auth token rollover by April 8
  • @mei: Update API docs and client SDK for v2 endpoints
  • @jordan: Provision staging PostgreSQL instance

Open Questions

  • Do we need to support concurrent v1 + v2 during the transition period?
  • Who owns the billing service alerts after the DynamoDB migration?

Risks

  • Auth migration could break mobile clients on older SDK versions
  • 90-day deprecation may not be enough for enterprise partners

Technical Notes

  • Session token implementation should use Redis for shared state across pods
  • Consider connection pooling with PgBouncer for the billing service
