Talat is a brand-new Mac application developed by Nick Payne and Mike Franklin that prioritizes privacy as its core feature, offering an alternative to AI note-taking tools like Granola. During the pre-sale period, Talat has a one-time fee of $49. It completes all audio transcription and summarization locally using models such as Qwen3-4B-4bit, ensuring that data always remains on the user's device.

Talat supports configurable AI models and export functionality, with plans to increase the price to $99 when the official 1.0 version is released.
