Created an menu bar App using Whisper models under the hood running 100% locally. Not sure how to sign my App properly yet.

My current fav free + local stt app is Handy:

With parakeet v3, transcription is stunningly fast (near instant) and accurate enough for talking to AIs that can “read between the lines”. Tip: When using with CLI agents, if you blabbed a long prompt, ask it to “say back to me what you understood”, and you’ll get a nicely structured version, which both confirms you’re on the same page, as well as likely helps it stay on track.
Thank me later.

If you really are poor and you don't afford a mac and you are on windows (for some weird reason instead of linux). Your best best is probably: https://github.com/PinW/whisper-key-local

If you are paying $15/mo for Wispr flow you are either wealthy enough that 30 minutes of competitive research isn't worth your time or you are an idiot

That's sick, been looking for something exactly like this! The auto-inject feature is gonna be a game changer for my workflow

It feels so natural in wispr flow, but don't really want to leave a trace online. Been using it to build my personal vault in Obsidian. Please do leave some feedback if possible.
