Gideon Listener · Desktop

Turn Gideon on.
It listens, and maps your thinking.

A Granola-style companion for meetings and thinking out loud. Start it, talk, and watch a live map form — with transcripts, notes, and fact-checks.

First launch: it's not code-signed yet, so macOS will warn you. Right-click the app → OpenOpen, and allow the microphone.

It writes your notes for you

Jot a few rough bullets — Gideon hears the whole meeting and Enhances them into clean notes: TL;DR, key points, decisions, action items.

Hears the whole room

Captures your mic and system audio — no bot joins the call — and attributes who said what.

Chat with your meeting

“Summarize this”, “what were the action items?”, “what should I say?” — instant answers over the transcript.

Live thought map

The conversation also becomes a growing diagram in real time — something no other notepad does.

Explains jargon & catches fallacies

Defines acronyms as they’re said (CAC, LP, ARR…) and flags logical fallacies and shaky claims live.

Menu bar + hidden from screen shares

Lives in your menu bar as a pill; the overlay floats on top but is invisible to Zoom, Meet, and recording.

How it works

  1. 1 Open Gideon Listener and pick a mode — Thought Plot, Architecture, or Debate.
  2. 2 Hit Listen. It captures your voice and streams it to Gideon.
  3. 3 It transcribes and draws your thinking as a live diagram — corrections included.

Windows build, meeting history, and code-signing are coming next. Global hotkeys: ⌘\ hide · ⌘⇧L listen · ⌘⇧A ask.
