Voice2Prompt v0.1.0

Full Changelog: https://github.com/anukool23/voice2prompt/commits/v0.1.0## Voice2Prompt v0.1.0

The first public release of Voice2Prompt — an open-source, on-device voice
dictation app for macOS. Hold a key, speak, and the transcript is typed
wherever your cursor is. No cloud, no network calls, no per-word cost.

What's new

• Local speech-to-text via a bundled whisper.cpp sidecar (Metal-accelerated)
  — sub-second latency, everything over localhost.
• LLM cleanup (optional) — punctuation, filler-word removal, and
  tone adjustment via a local Ollama model. Falls back to raw transcription
  automatically if Ollama isn't running.
• Six trigger options — pick whichever fits your workflow in
  Settings → Trigger:
  • Fn / 🌐 — hold to talk, double-tap to lock into hands-free, tap again to stop
  • Ctrl+Option+Space, Ctrl+Shift+Space, Cmd+Option+Space, F8, F9 —
    hold to talk, no extra permission required
• Smart text injection — inserts via macOS's Accessibility API, with an
  automatic clipboard + ⌘V fallback for apps that reject AX insertion
  (Slack, Notion, VS Code, etc.).
• Voice commands — "select all," "make this formal," "shorten this,"
  and more; rule-based edits run instantly, rewrite commands hand your
  selection to the LLM.
• Native menu-bar app — self-contained .app with a menu-bar tray
  (Open / Start-Stop / Quit) and launch-at-login.

Known issues

• Not notarized — this build is ad-hoc signed, so Gatekeeper will block
  it on first launch. Expected; see the
  install steps
  for the one-time bypass.
• Ollama isn't bundled — install it separately if you want LLM cleanup
  (scripts/setup-ollama.sh). Without it, dictation still works, just
  without the cleanup pass.
• Settings app, voice commands, and packaging are lightly tested — they
  build and run but haven't seen extensive real-world use yet. Please file
  an issue if something breaks.
• Windows isn't supported yet — macOS-only for this release.
• Accessibility + Input Monitoring permissions required — see the
  install guide if dictation seems to do nothing.

Requirements

• macOS (Apple Silicon or Intel with Metal support)
• Ollama installed separately, only if you want LLM cleanup
