-Hyprnote is a private, on-device AI notepad designed for people who want agency over how they capture and understand information. Unlike meeting bots, Hyprnote never joins calls or announces itself. You take notes in a notepad you control, and the AI enhances, structures, and deepens your thinking while keeping all data local by default. Hyprnote helps you build a durable personal knowledge base that can optionally flow into tools like Notion or Confluence.
+Char is a private, local-first AI notepad for meetings. It helps people take their own notes, transcribe conversations, summarize discussions, and build a durable personal knowledge base without bots joining calls. By default, Char keeps data on your device and supports local, BYOK, managed cloud, and self-hosted workflows.
