# Oyma

> Oyma is a local-first Markdown notes app for the Mac. Notes are plain Markdown files in a folder you choose, with wikilinks, backlinks, tables and a graph. Meetings are built in: it records calls without a bot (your microphone plus the call's audio), transcribes them on your Mac with Whisper, and writes the summary into the note. Summaries and questions run on your Mac with Ollama, or with your own Anthropic or OpenAI key. Free during the private beta.

Facts verified against the app on 2026-10-03. Platform: macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon (private beta). Not available yet: Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android.
