Daber v0.1.0-alpha.8

Daber v0.1.0-alpha.8

Community-test alpha for macOS, Windows 11, and desktop Linux. Daber is free, open source, and runs Ivrit.ai transcription on your computer. No account is required.

Downloads

• macOS 13 or newer: Universal DMG for Apple silicon and Intel. Signed with Tom Granot's Developer ID, hardened, notarized, and stapled by Apple.
• Windows 11 x64: Unsigned NSIS installer. An unknown-publisher message and Microsoft Defender SmartScreen warning are expected. Verify the published SHA-256 before choosing More info → Run anyway. Do not install a certificate.
• Linux x86_64: AppImage and DEB with detached OpenPGP signatures. The packages use an Ubuntu 22.04 build baseline.

The first launch downloads and verifies the pinned local transcription model, about 1.62 GB. Daber does not include an automatic updater in this alpha.

Alpha limits

• The Windows installer is unsigned. A physical Windows install and uninstall test remains open for community validation.
• Linux requires AT-SPI for editable-control discovery and Secret Service for local key storage. Wayland may require the explicit Copy action when automatic insertion is unavailable.
• Linux packages target x86_64 and use Ubuntu 22.04 as their build baseline. Broader distribution and desktop-environment testing continues with the community.

Download files only from this GitHub release or daber.withmultiples.ai. Match the filename, size, version, and checksum before installing.

Source and feedback

The desktop binaries were built from commit 6af0cf8640157873a77b6180b9b1ad7c0e863807. Later commits on main update the website, release validation, and documentation without changing the packaged desktop source.

Report problems through GitHub Issues or tom+daber@withmultiples.ai. Include your operating system, version, desktop environment where relevant, and the application in which you tried to dictate. Do not attach private recordings or transcripts.
