OpenFlow 0.1.3

Website: https://robj1925.github.io/open-flow/

Everything from the first day of public life, in one clean build:

• On-device transcript cleanup (Apple Intelligence, macOS 26+): removes filler words, stutters, and false starts. Smart-gated — it runs only when a transcript actually contains disfluencies, so most dictations add zero latency, and it always falls back to the raw transcript rather than stall.
• Settings and History windows now open in front of your current app instead of behind it.
• Onboarding shows the real app icon.
• README: demo GIF, screenshots, and an architecture diagram that matches the shipped pipeline.

Install: unzip, drag to Applications, right-click → Open (not yet notarized). Apple Silicon, macOS 14+.

OpenFlow 0.1.2

Settings and History windows now come to the front when opened from the menu bar (they previously opened behind the active app's windows).

OpenFlow 0.1.1

Cleanup latency fix: the Apple Intelligence pass now runs only when a transcript actually contains disfluencies (fillers, stutters, self-corrections), so most dictations add zero latency. When it does run, it's bounded by an adaptive deadline (~2-5s) and falls back to the raw transcript rather than ever stalling a dictation.

OpenFlow 0.1.0

First public release. Hold a key, speak, release: your words appear at the cursor. Everything runs on your Mac.

Highlights

• Two local speech engines: Parakeet TDT v2 (default, fastest) and Whisper (multilingual), downloaded on first run
• Apple Intelligence transcript cleanup on macOS 26+ (filler words, false starts, punctuation), fully on-device
• Custom dictionary and snippets, searchable local history, menu-bar app with floating recording HUD
• No cloud, no subscription, no telemetry. Audio never leaves your Mac.
