STARGAZEROpen Stargazer

A PRIVATE OBSERVATORY FOR YOUR COURSES

Turn lectures into constellations.

Stargazer records the lecture, transcribes it accurately, reads the photos you take of the board, and connects what was said to a world you already understand.

Runs on your own installation. Ask your instructor before recording.

HOW IT WORKS

Four moves, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Record the room

    Choose a course, name the lecture, press record. The transcript streams in live while you keep listening.

  2. 02

    Capture the board

    Photograph slides, diagrams, and whiteboards as they happen. Each image stays tied to that moment in the transcript.

  3. 03

    Find the pattern

    Stargazer reads the transcript and the photos together, then writes a summary, the brightest key points, and connections to your world.

  4. 04

    Return to it

    Save the lecture to your library, search the archive, and ask new questions of it whenever you study.

WHAT IT DOES

Everything stays bound to the lecture it came from.

Live transcription

Audio streams to a realtime model over WebRTC, so words appear as they are spoken. If the live channel is unavailable, the recording is transcribed after class instead.

Lecture photo analysis

Every photo is read for visible text, described in plain language, and turned into learning notes that sit alongside the transcript.

Transcript-bound notes

Summaries, key points, and connections are hashed against the exact transcript and photos they came from, so stale notes never masquerade as current ones.

Grounded chat

Ask questions and get answers drawn only from that lecture — transcript, photos, and notes — with the sources that informed each reply.

Library and search

Lectures file themselves into courses you define. Search the full archive by text and reopen the exact notes you wrote.

Your world and journal

Optional private context — places, interests, goals, people — turns abstract ideas into metaphors you already understand. Keep reflections in a journal beside them.

PRIVACY

Your lectures stay yours.

Lecture text stays on your device
Transcripts, notes, courses, journal entries, and your world context live in this browser. They are never written to a server database.
Photos are the only stored files
Uploaded images are held on the machine running Stargazer, in a directory you control, and nowhere else.
The model key never reaches the browser
Every call to the language model is made server-side. Access is gated by a single password and an httpOnly, same-site session cookie.

Every map of the night sky is a record of human attention.

Make one for your own semester.
