Why Hyprnote exists
Most AI note-takers lock your data in their database, force you to use their AI stack, and make you lose everything if you leave.
We thought that was bullshit.
So we built Hyprnote to give you back control.
Plain Markdown files
Not proprietary databases—files you own that work in any app
No meeting bots
System audio capture works everywhere: Zoom, Teams, phone calls, in-person
Choose your AI
Managed service, bring your own key, or run fully local models
Open source
Public code that security teams can audit and verify
Zero lock-in
Export anytime, switch providers anytime, or just stop using us
Hyprnote's for you, if
Your company banned Otter/ChatGPT/Granola
Your IT team can audit the open-source code. Files stay on your device. You can use whichever AI provider your company already approved or run everything locally.
You're deep into Obsidian/Logseq/PKM systems
You've spent years building a knowledge vault in Markdown. Your meeting notes shouldn't live in a separate app that doesn't integrate with anything.
You already pay for OpenAI/Anthropic API credits
Why pay markup on top of API costs you already have? Bring your own key and use the credits you're already buying.
You're an open-source advocate who self-hosts everything
You run Nextcloud, care about FOSS, and need to verify no data leaves your infrastructure. Hyprnote lets you audit the code and run everything locally.
You just want a simple notepad that works
You don't care about the philosophy. You want to take notes during calls without thinking about it. Hyprnote does that.
What we're building toward
We're not betting on GPT-5 or Claude Opus 7 or whatever comes next.
We're betting on files.
Files outlive apps. Files work with every tool. Files don't disappear when a startup shuts down.
AI providers will come and go. SaaS platforms will rise and fall. But Markdown files from 2006 still open perfectly in 2026.
That's the foundation. Everything else is just software on top.
Here for the long haul
This isn't a bait-and-switch. We're not looking to get acquired and cash out.
We're building the company we want to work for—one that treats users the way we'd want to be treated.
That means:
- No auto-renewal traps
- No annual price increases
- No forcing you onto annual contracts
- No hiding features behind "contact sales"
- No meeting bots that make your coworkers uncomfortable
If that sounds like the kind of company you want to support, download Hyprnote and try it.
If we screw this up, you can export everything and walk away. That's the deal.
