I Built Mimu Because Even Taking Notes Is Too Much Work

Описание и применение

Mimu упрощает быстрый захват идей, автоматически транскрибируя голос и создавая структурированные заметки с помощью локальной модели Gemma, без использования платных API.

Задача

Capturing spontaneous thoughts quickly without the overhead of organizing them into titles, tags, and reminders.

Результат

Mimu reduces the friction of note taking by automating transcription and organization locally, enabling quick capture of ideas without external APIs.

Рабочий процесс

• Local Gemma model runs on the user’s computer to generate a title, category, tags, and formatted Markdown
• Original transcript is preserved
• User can edit or export notes
• Optional features: Ask Mimu queries, morning digest, offline capture, Markdown export

Доказательства

Whisper transcribes the audio in the browser. Later, a small Gemma model running on my computer turns that raw thought into a note with a useful title, formatted Markdown, a category, and tags.

One important privacy detail: in the hosted demo, note text is stored in a separate database for each demo account under my Turso setup. Audio isn't uploaded; it's transcribed on the device and discarded.

To watch your own notes get organized by AI, you'll need Ollama on a computer. Mimu's Desktop page gives you a command to install and connect the Node worker, which downloads the Gemma model the first time.
