Paid $10/month for an API wrapper.
I was paying for a meeting transcription SaaS. One day I looked at the request in DevTools. It was sending my audio to the same OpenAI Whisper API I already had a key for.
So I built this in a weekend with Claude. Same quality, no subscription, no data leaving my machine except to OpenAI directly. Then I added an MCP bridge so Claude can read my meeting notes natively.
Total cost for a one-hour meeting: $0.36. That's the API call. The extension is free. Forever.
