Backsight

What is Backsight?

Backsight turns your recorded notes into useful personal stats over time. You speak a quick moment, it transcribes on-device, and your offline dashboard helps you spot patterns like repetition, distribution, spikes, changes, and correlations. It is built for privacy: accountless, end-to-end encrypted, and designed with no dark patterns or coaching. You can export and import your raw data by hand, so you stay in control. It also plans support for power users who want to bring their own AI by running a local MCP server on their own machine.
