Updated 0.0.1 preview build (2026-11-07)

The DMG has been refreshed while retaining app version 0.0.1. Download it again to get this build; previously downloaded copies are unchanged.

  • Stops permission helper launches once Input Monitoring and Accessibility are granted.
  • Avoids redundant settings updates and removes the waveform animation scheduler while idle.
  • Uses a distinct Floe bundle identity and migrates existing hotwords and preferences.
  • Grant all three permissions again when upgrading from the former identity. macOS may retain older display names in its permission UI.

Source for this updated build: ab62ceed4502aaefee649d718f4b9858fd647f8f. The v0.0.1 tag now points to this commit, so the automatically generated source ZIP and tar.gz include this updated build.

Floe 0.0.1 preview: local Chinese and English streaming dictation for Apple Silicon Macs.

Install

  1. Download Floe-0.0.1-arm64.dmg below.
  2. Open it and drag Floe into Applications.
  3. Eject the disk image, then launch Floe from Applications.
  4. Grant Microphone, Input Monitoring and Accessibility access.
  5. Set Keyboard → Press 🌐 key to → Do Nothing, then hold 🌐 / Fn to dictate.

Requires Apple Silicon and macOS 14 or later. The model is included; speech recognition stays on your Mac.

First launch

This is an ad-hoc signed, not Apple-notarized preview. If macOS blocks it, attempt to open Floe once, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. Authenticate if asked and confirm Open. Only approve the download from this repository. Managed Macs may prevent this exception. Updates may require granting permissions again.

Included

  • Local streaming X-ASR bilingual Zipformer model, CPU inference.
  • Live text insertion, 5 ms default update interval.
  • Editable hotwords and optional correction-based suggestions.
  • Glass icon and a small recording waveform.
  • DMG with an Applications shortcut and installation instructions.

A SHA-256 checksum is attached. This preview has passed build, streaming text, hotword, audio-tail, clipboard-marker, model-inference and disk-image validation checks. Recognition accuracy and compatibility with every target app are not guaranteed by those checks.
