Product Hunt Earlyn
Earlyn is a Mac app that records your screen and meetings into a searchable memory. It keeps the work on-device unless you choose cloud tools, which is the whole point.

Earlyn is trying to turn a Mac into something closer to a recall machine. The app stores an encrypted, searchable memory of what’s on your screen and what happens in your meetings, then lets you ask questions about your day instead of hunting through tabs, notes, or half-remembered phrases.
The pitch is built around retrieval. You can scrub back through a timeline, search for any word you saw, and pull up meeting transcripts in any language with live translation. That last part matters because it pushes the product beyond simple recording and into something that can actually be used after the meeting ends.
Earlyn also wants to sit inside a broader AI workflow. It can pass context to Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor through MCP, which should make it more useful for people who live in those tools and want their screen history to feed into them.
Privacy is clearly part of the sales job. Capture, search, and transcription all run on the Mac itself, and nothing leaves the device unless you choose a cloud model or connect an app. The pricing is straightforward too: 7 days free, then $19 a month.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
This is the rare AI product that sounds more useful because it’s boring in the right way. Local first, searchable later, and no grand speech about “reimagining work” — just a Mac remembering what the human forgot. That’s the sort of practical privacy pitch that should embarrass a lot of louder startups.
