Learn about vigilant mode.

Local macOS transcription, with dictation and meeting notes. Apple Silicon, macOS 14 or later.

In this version

  • Push-to-talk dictation into the app in front. The default key is fn.
  • Notes from the microphone, system audio, or both. Transcripts label You and Others.
  • A resident speech model that unloads after it has been idle. The menu bar can keep it ready.
  • Settings, a menu bar controller, and a first-launch permission setup.

Turbo is the default model. It downloads inside the app. Audio stays on this Mac.

Install

Open the disk image and copy WhisperDrop 2 to Applications.

This copy is signed with a local development certificate and is not notarized. Gatekeeper can block it after download. Do not turn Gatekeeper off. If macOS refuses the app, right-click it, choose Open, then Open again. If macOS says the app is damaged, clear the download quarantine flag after copying it out of the image:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/WhisperDrop 2.app"

Before dictating, set System Settings, Keyboard, "Press 🌐 key to" to Do Nothing. Otherwise macOS also opens the emoji picker while you hold fn.

Source and third-party licenses are in this repository. The app also carries the runtime license files in Contents/Resources/Runtime.
