The manifesto

We built Thunder Kitty because meeting tools got weird.

Not weird like us. Weird like: we'll be uploading your most sensitive conversations to servers in Virginia, summarizing them with models trained on who-knows-what, selling you back your own notes in a dashboard, and raising $200M to keep doing it.

Thunder Kitty is the opposite of that. It runs on your Mac. Your audio stays on your Mac. Your notes are markdown files in a folder you can open, read, move, back up, or delete yourself. There is no server. There is no team. There is no workspace. There is no we in your data.

It's a notepad. It listens. It writes things down. That's it.

It's for therapists whose work can't go to the cloud. Founders running their business out of plain text. Freelancers who just want to remember what they said on the call. Weirdos who think a meeting tool should have a cat on it.

It's not for enterprise teams who need "shareable links." It's not for VCs looking for a horizontal productivity play. It's not for anyone who needs a Zapier integration with Monday.com.

If you get it, you get it. If you don't, Granola is great. We promise.
