Silkwave is a unified AI workspace for Mac. It brings major models into one chat interface using a Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) approach—connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Nebius, or local Ollama. It features a powerful microphone and system audio recorder with near real-time transcription using on-device Apple Intelligence or OpenAI. It connects all your AI tools in one private app.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
This is Silkwave — a macOS app that puts all your AI models in one place.
The problem was simple: too many browser tabs, too many $20/month subscriptions, too much friction. So I built a single workspace where you bring your own keys and your data stays yours.
Here's what it does:
🔑 Bring Your Own Keys (BYOK)
Connect API keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Nebius — pay only for what you use. Or run local models via Ollama, completely offline.
🎙️ Advanced Audio & Transcription
Silkwave can record System Audio and your Microphone at the same time (Zoom, browser, whatever).
• Offline: On-device Apple Intelligence — free, unlimited transcription.
• Online: OpenAI's API for high-accuracy, multilingual transcription.
📹 Chat with Files
True multimodal support. Drop in image, video, audio, or PDFs — ask questions, get summaries, pull out action items.
🔒 Privacy First
Direct-to-client architecture. Your data goes from your Mac to the API provider (or never leaves your device). No servers in between.
Would love to hear what you think — and what features you'd want next.
Thanks for checking it out. 🚀

Congrats! Is the goal that it becomes your notes/brainstorm hub?

Thank you, Daniele!
Yes, that's definitely the direction! Here's my current roadmap:
Auto-detect Zoom, Teams, Google Meet calls — my top priority right now
Global search across chats and transcriptions
Text notes — to make it a true brainstorm hub
I might adjust this roadmap based on user feedbacks though.
