PingMeBud

PingMeBud monitors your meeting audio using local AI (Whisper) and alerts you when someone says your name or any keyword you care about.

Join a meeting, hit start, minimize, and go do deep work (or go make coffee). When a keyword is detected, you get a native macOS notification with surrounding context so you can jump back in without looking lost.

Features:

• Uses Whisper (local AI) to transcribe meeting audio purely as a means to detect keywords. Optimized for Apple Silicon
• Audio captured via ScreenCaptureKit (system audio only, not your mic).
• You can even have your speakers muted and still get alerts.
• Everything runs locally. Nothing leaves your machine.
• Transcripts live in RAM only and are wiped when you end the session or close the app.
• No cloud, no accounts, no telemetry.
• Transcripts more than 20 languages
• Try it free for 7 days, then $29 one-time
• Supports wildcard keyword matching (meet* matches "meeting", "meetings", "meetup”, *sync matches `async ).
• macOS 12.3+, Apple Silicon required. Made in Electron + React.
