My Man.Your Mac sidekick.
Screenshots, voice-to-text, meeting notes, and quick notes in one menu-bar app.
Free and open source. On-device AI. One search across everything. Private by default.
One hotkey to capture anything. One search to find everything.
My Man replaces a drawer full of single-purpose apps with one sidekick that stays out of your way until you call it.
Screenshots
Capture any region, then annotate with arrows, boxes, text, and pixelation. Copy text straight out of the image.
Voice-to-Text
Hold a key, talk, release — clean text is typed wherever your cursor is. Runs entirely on your Mac.
Meeting Notes
Record any meeting with no bot joining the call. Transcript plus AI summary with action items, generated on-device.
Quick Notes
One hotkey opens the launcher: save a thought instantly, or keep typing to search everything you've captured.
Why My Man
Running a screenshot tool, a dictation tool, a meeting-notes tool, and a notes app means four subscriptions, four accounts, and four places your data lives.
My Man is one lightweight, open-source app — and nothing you capture ever leaves your Mac. Transcription, summaries, and search all run on-device, and the source code is on GitHub, so you can read exactly what runs on your machine.
