I built an opensource AI notepad alternative to Granola, need help to improve it

Hey, I built a project called steno. Steno is an AI notepad for confidential conversations. It runs fully locally on your device with local llms like Gemma 4 quantised. The quality has gotten pretty good now so wanted to share to the communities like LocalLLM that helped me during the engineering phase.

We are on our 80th release now - 0.5.7 and we added some cool new features. I basically wanted to build an app exactly like Granola cause I didn't like that they shipped your data and trained on it or that they asked you to pay for access to your own data.

Do give it a try - https://github.com/ruzin/stenoai or if you're interested in contributing, you can join our discord.

With this post, im mainly curious to hear thoughts on our use of the new Gemma4 small family of models and what your experiences have been?

And also is parakeet the best model for live transcription or is it worth using qwen asr ?
