【文章标题】:Show HN: Keen Bean —— 边开会边起草方案的Mac会议笔记工具

【文章正文】:
Not just a transcript. Tasks, decisions, a draft spec, a diagram, a rough mock-up of the screen you were describing — started while you talked, ready for you to finish. On your Mac, in files you own.
不仅是文字记录。任务、决策、方案草案、图表、你描述的界面草图——在你讨论时即时生成,待你最终完善。所有内容存于你的Mac,专属文件由你掌控。

See it work
You ran the meeting, so you couldn’t take notes. The bot that took them made your client uncomfortable and gave you a transcript nobody will read. And the write-up is still yours to do tonight — because there’s nobody to hand it to.
眼见为实
你主导会议时无暇记录。传统记录机器人让客户不适,生成的文字记录无人阅读。而会议纪要仍要熬夜完成——因为根本无人可交接。

Three things that make it different
三大独特之处
It hears both sides from your Mac’s own audio. Nothing joins, nothing announces itself, nothing appears in the participant list — so the meeting stays a meeting.
通过Mac原生音频捕捉双方对话。不接入会议、不自我宣告、不显示在参会名单——会议纯粹如常。

Works where recording bots are banned.
在禁用录音机器人的场景中依然可用。

Tasks, decisions, risks and blockers appear as cards while people speak. When the conversation gets substantive it drafts the spec, sketches the diagram, roughs out the screen you’re describing.
实时将任务/决策/风险/阻碍转为卡片。深入讨论时自动起草方案、绘制图表、勾勒所述界面。

Drafts, not deliverables — you finish them.
生成的是草案而非终稿——由你完成最终打磨。

Audio goes from your Mac to a transcription service to be transcribed, and the transcript to the model — that’s the whole list. We run no proxy and no server in that path, so your meeting content never reaches us. Everything else is Markdown and JSON on your Mac.
音频仅从Mac转至转录服务再至模型——流程至此终结。全程无代理服务器,会议内容永不触达我们。其余皆为存储于你Mac的Markdown和JSON文件。

Open the files in any editor. Ever.
所有文件始终可用任意编辑器打开。

A day of meetings
今日会议看板
Today’s calendar is on the launch pad. One click opens the meeting with attendees and project already filled in.
当日日程一览无余。一键开启会议,参会者与项目信息自动填充。

Cards appear as things are said. Type a question silently, or just say “hey Bean, mock that up” out loud. Pause for the off-record bit.
发言即生卡片。可静默输入问题,或直接说”嘿Bean,画个草图”。非正式讨论时可暂停记录。

Below about half your screen it folds into a single newest-first feed, so it sits next to the call window instead of fighting it.
界面下半部折叠为最新优先的流式视图,与通话窗口和平共处。

Duplicates merge, what’s left is ranked with blockers first. Nothing is deleted — “show all” is one click away.
自动合并重复项,按阻碍优先级排序。内容永不删除——“显示全部”一键可达。

Export the summary, transcript, cards and every draft straight into your Obsidian vault or project folder.
将摘要、转录稿、卡片及所有草案直输Obsidian知识库或项目文件夹。

Ask questions across every meeting you’ve ever had — who owned that, when did we decide it, what did they object to.
跨会议全局检索:责任人、决策时间、反对意见。

Who it’s for
目标用户
There’s nobody to hand it to. That’s the whole thing — a transcript is useless to you, because you were never going to re-read it.
无需交接者。核心在于——文字记录对你本无价值,因你从不重读。

The honest answers
坦诚问答

No, and we won’t pretend otherwise. It gets you a first draft while the conversation is fresh. Plenty of what a finished document needs won’t even have been discussed yet — that part is still yours. What changes is that you edit something instead of facing a blank page.
不,我们不作虚假承诺。它在你记忆鲜活时提供初稿。终版文档的诸多要素尚未讨论——这部分仍属你的工作。改变在于你是在编辑内容而非面对空白页。

No, and that’s the point of the subscription. When you activate, Keen Bean provisions its own capped keys for transcription and for the models, on our accounts. You never open a provider account, never paste a key, and never get a second bill to reconcile. If you cancel, billing stops at the end of the period and every file the app made stays yours.
不,这正是订阅制的意义。激活时,Keen Bean通过我们的账户配置限额API密钥。你无需注册服务商账户、无需粘贴密钥、无需核对额外账单。取消订阅后,周期结束时立即停费,所有生成文件永归你所有。

Bean keeps listening. Building pauses — you still get the transcript and the recording, the drafting stops — and nothing is ever cut off in the middle of a meeting. Top up whenever you want, or wait for the reset on your billing date.
Bean持续聆听。额度耗尽时——你仍获转录稿和录音,仅暂停草案生成——会议中途永不中断。随时充值,或等待结算日重置。

The path hasn’t changed: audio goes from your Mac to a transcription service to be transcribed, and the transcript to the model. Nowhere else. We run no proxy, so your meeting content never touches anything of ours. Because the keys are ours we can see how much a subscription has spent — that’s what fills the bar — and nothing about what was said.
流程始终如一:音频从Mac至转录服务至模型,绝无他路。无代理服务器意味着会议内容永不触达我们。因使用我们的API密钥,我们仅可见额度消耗进度(进度条来源),而无法知晓对话内容。

Whenever you like, and nothing of yours is held hostage. Billing stops at the end of the period you’ve paid for. After that the app stops starting new meetings, a meeting already running finishes on transcription alone, and every note, transcript and draft stays in your folders, readable and exportable. Leave whenever you like — you keep all the work.
随时自由离开,数据绝不扣押。已付费周期结束时立即停费。之后应用仅禁止新建会议,进行中的会议仅保留转录功能,所有笔记、转录稿和草案皆存于你的文件夹,随时可读可导出。进退自由——劳动成果永属你。

Your files are Markdown and JSON, and the app runs on your Mac rather than on a service that can be switched off. If Keen Bean stopped being maintained tomorrow, everything it made would still open in any editor. That’s a design decision, not a reassurance.
文件采用Markdown和JSON格式,应用运行于本地Mac而非可被关闭的云端服务。即便Keen Bean停止维护,所有生成文件仍可用任意编辑器打开。这是设计原则,而非空头承诺。

It asks you to confirm everyone knows, once per meeting. Telling them is your job; the app just makes it hard to forget.
每场会议需确认全员知情。告知义务在你,应用只是确保你不会遗忘。

Price
定价
One price covers the app and the AI behind it — transcription and models both. There are no provider accounts to open, no keys to paste and no second bill to reconcile at the end of the month.
单一价格涵盖应用及背后AI(转录与模型)。无需注册服务商账户、无需粘贴密钥、月末无需核对额外账单。

US19/月
A normal week of client calls, with Bean drafting as you go.
常规客户会议周,Bean全程辅助起草

US39/月
Back-to-back days, or Bean turned most of the way up most of the time.
连续会议日,或长期高强度使用

Every plan starts with 14 days free. Card up front, nothing charged until day 15, and cancelling before then costs nothing. The trial runs on its own smaller allowance; if you spend it early, Bean keeps listening and drafting pauses until your first billing date.
所有方案享14天免费期。提前绑卡,第15天才计费,此前取消无任何费用。试用期使用独立小额额度,若提前耗尽,Bean仅保留聆听功能,草案生成暂停至首个结算日。

Each plan carries a monthly allowance of AI usage, shown in the app as a bar that empties as you work. How fast it empties is your call: the HOW KEEN? slider sets how hard Bean works, so a quiet morning of listening costs a fraction.
每方案含月度AI额度,应用中显示为递减进度条。消耗速度由你掌控:通过”积极程度”滑块调节Bean的工作强度,安静旁听的上午仅消耗微量额度。
