Local, on-device dictation for macOS — hold a hotkey, speak, and it types wherever you're focused.

Highlights

  • Voice Engine: 9 transcription models (Whisper tiny → large-v3, Parakeet v2/v3/110M-fast), switch anytime from the menu bar or sidebar.
  • Enhancement Engine: clean up dictation fully on-device with Local AI (no key needed), or bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or OpenRouter key.
  • Activation modes: Hold, Toggle, or Automatic.
  • Text Formatting: lowercase first letter, space between dictations, smart capitalization, editable filler-word list.
  • Insights: words per minute, streaks, time saved, all computed locally from your own history.
  • Change Log: synced live from this repo's own GitHub Releases.
  • Feedback: a Support Quill link and a real feedback form, right in the app.

Fixes in this release

  • Insights' "Fixes Made by Quill" wasn't counting Google/OpenRouter-powered cleanups.
  • Enhancement Engine could resize the main window unexpectedly.
  • Onboarding's Continue button could be cropped off-screen with the full model list.

Everything runs locally on your Mac — nothing is uploaded unless you connect your own cloud API key.
