Speech, on device

diktafon
Local-only dictation for macOS.
Hold Option+Space, speak, release. Polished text is pasted into the frontmost app.
An optional cleanup pass
S1-mini removes fillers and false starts and fixes punctuation, numbers, dates, and emails before pasting.

Split at silence
A pause is a clean cut, so you can dictate without stopping and it still pastes as one block.
Local history
Every dictation is kept on your Mac, grouped by day and searchable.
Unloads when idle
The daemon frees the models after five minutes of inactivity, so memory drops back down between dictations.
Built with Rust, GPUI, transcribe.cpp, and llama.cpp. Free and open source.
