Voca is now a real macOS app — no terminal, venv, or pip.

Install

  1. Download Voca-1.1.0.dmg below.
  2. Open it and drag Voca into your Applications folder.
  3. First launch: right-click Voca → Open (unsigned app, one-time Gatekeeper step).
  4. Grant Microphone and Accessibility when prompted. The first run downloads ~1.9 GB of models once, then works fully offline.

Requires macOS on Apple Silicon (M1–M4).
