Show HN: Keen Bean – Mac meeting notes that draft the spec while you talk
Keen Bean is a new macOS application designed to assist with meeting productivity by drafting specifications, tasks, and diagrams in real-time. The tool operates locally on the user's machine, ensuring privacy by avoiding cloud-based bot integration during calls.
Why it matters
It represents a shift toward privacy-focused, local-first AI tools that aim to replace intrusive meeting bots in professional environments.
Keen Bean How it works Who it's for Price Leave the meeting with a first draft, not a blank page. Not just a transcript. Tasks, decisions, a draft spec, a diagram, a rough mock-up of the screen you were describing — started while you talked, ready for you to finish. On your Mac, in files you own.
macOS · Apple Silicon or Intel · no API keys to paste, no bot in your call
