A self-hosted local sync server for Plaud Note devices. Mirrors recordings to your local disk and fires webhooks when new audio or transcripts arrive, with built-in support for n8n.
Applaud is a self-hosted server that automatically syncs recordings from Plaud Note devices to your local disk. It polls the Plaud cloud every 10 minutes, downloading audio files, transcripts, and AI-generated summaries into an organized folder structure — giving you full local ownership of your recordings.
The built-in web UI includes a custom audio player with waveform visualization, a transcript viewer with speaker-labeled and timestamped blocks, and full-text search across all recordings. A guided setup wizard walks you through authentication, folder configuration, and webhook setup in minutes.
Webhooks fire on audio_ready and transcript_ready events, making it easy to plug into n8n, Zapier, or custom automation workflows. The project includes importable n8n workflow templates to get started quickly. Authentication works by reading your existing browser session — no passwords or OAuth configuration needed.
