First public release. 🫧
Blooop is free, local push-to-talk dictation for Apple Silicon Macs. Hold right-⌘, speak, release — your words paste wherever your cursor is. Powered by MLX Whisper; your voice never leaves your machine.
Install
Download Blooop-1.0.0.zip below, unzip, drag Blooop into Applications, and open it. A one-minute setup wizard walks you through the two macOS permissions and downloads a speech model of your choice (Medium recommended, 1.4 GB — everything runs offline after that).
Signed and notarized by Apple — it opens with a normal double-click.
Highlights
- On-device transcription (tiny → large-v3, switchable in Settings)
- Push-to-talk and hands-free latch mode (double-tap the hotkey)
- Auto-paste into whatever app is focused, with custom vocabulary
- Quiet-voice auto-gain and adjustable mic sensitivity
- 148 MB download; models fetched on demand
Requires macOS on Apple Silicon (M1 or newer).
