Free, open source, and yours in about a minute.
Latest release · Windows 10/11, 64-bit · ~120 MB installed
System requirements
- Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit)
- Any microphone; headphones recommended (Earshot cancels echo if you use speakers)
- For self-hosting: an API key for transcription/AI (free options exist, see the FAQ), or your own Whisper server
A note about SmartScreen
Earshot's installer is new and not yet code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC" the first time. Click More info → Run anyway. The installer is built from the public source on GitHub, you can audit exactly what you're running, or build it yourself from the repo.
Self-hosting quickstart
The first-run setup guide walks you through connecting your own keys (Groq's free tier transcribes generously; any Anthropic or OpenAI-compatible key powers notes, or run a fully local model). Prefer docs? The GitHub README covers every option, including pointing Earshot at your own Whisper server.
