What is PingMeBud?
Pingmebud monitors meeting audio on macOS and sends real-time, keyword-based alerts when names, teams, projects or urgent terms are mentioned.
Local AI transcription runs on Apple Silicon (M1–M4) with selectable models for on-device, offline speech-to-text processing.
Works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Discord, YouTube and other VOIP apps by capturing speaker audio without joining calls as a participant.
Features include smart keyword matching (variations and synonyms), pause/silence detection, native macOS notifications and optional visual full-screen alerts.
Privacy-first design keeps all audio processing and session memory in RAM on-device, with no cloud uploads, no account required and no telemetry.
Menu-bar controls provide quick start/stop monitoring and keyword management without opening the full app window.
Intended users include remote workers, developers, meeting-heavy teams and multi-meeting professionals who need focused, relevant notifications and reduced meeting noise.
