"Where is my data stored? Who has access to it? What happens if the company shuts down? If I pay for a lifetime license, do I really own anything?"
Those were the questions Eugen Frunza kept asking as a user. GhostBro is his answer to all of them.
GhostBro is an AI meeting assistant built on a simple premise: owning is better than renting. Most AI tools in this space operate on subscriptions, route data through cloud servers, and leave users dependent on whatever the company decides to do next. Eugen wanted to build something different - software that a user could buy once and continue running on their own machine years later, regardless of what happens to the business behind it.
Real Ownership, Not a License
The ownership model in GhostBro is designed to hold up. The software works with cloud AI providers but also supports local models, so users can keep their data entirely under their own control if they choose to. Eugen is explicit about the philosophy: the less information he needs from users, the better.
The ownership lottery mechanic extends this thinking in an unconventional direction. As a solo founder, Eugen has the freedom to experiment in ways larger companies wouldn't consider. The lottery gives early supporters a stake in the project's future - and even if ownership of the project changes hands, those supporters already have a product they can keep using. They decide whether to adopt future updates or stay on the version they have. The control stays with them.
The product itself came from a personal problem. As a developer sitting through planning meetings, reviews, and long discussions, Eugen found himself splitting attention between following the conversation and staying focused on coding and architecture decisions. GhostBro addresses that directly - it can analyze the recent portion of a conversation and extract key points, letting developers stay in both contexts without losing the thread of either.
The typical user is someone who sits in a lot of meetings and needs to stay cognitively present elsewhere at the same time - developers, technical leads, and professionals who can't afford to give every meeting their full undivided attention.
GhostBro is available now as a one-time purchase at ghostbro.app.
