CallWatch
Every call on WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, FaceTime, Meet, Teams or Zoom is recorded, transcribed on-device and filed as notes under the right project.
When the call ends, its to-dos and dates are one tap away from Reminders and Calendar.

What it does
- Starts recording by itself when a call starts, in the app or in a browser tab, with my side and theirs on separate tracks
- Transcribes on the Mac with Whisper; a local model writes the summary, key points and follow-ups
- Files the note in Obsidian under the right project: by #tag, by who I spoke to, or by its best guess, else the inbox
- Offers the follow-ups as Reminders and Calendar entries in one pick list when the call ends
- Personal calls keep only the summary: the audio and transcript are deleted
- Learns voices, so after a few confirmed calls it knows who was on the line
- Nothing leaves the machine
