When You Can Vibe

Everything you need.

Local-first & Private
Transcribe on your Mac using on-device Whisper, Apple Speech, or Parakeet, with transcripts and API keys stored securely on your machine. Cloud providers are only used when you explicitly connect them.
Drop in Anything

Instant Hotkey
Toggle the floating mini recorder from anywhere. Dictate, stop, and have the transcript (or file path) copied straight to your clipboard.
Flexible Models
