Release list
LocalFlow v1.0
Overview
LocalFlow is AI powered voice to text application which works for any text window on you laptop with tonal intelligence.
Install
- Download
LocalFlow.dmgbelow, open it, and drag LocalFlow onto the Applications shortcut in the window that appears. - This is an unsigned build for now. On first launch, macOS will block it: run
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/LocalFlow.apponce, or right-click the app and choose Open. - Launch LocalFlow and grant Microphone and Accessibility when onboarding asks. Accessibility is what lets LocalFlow see the dictation hotkey and type into other apps.
- The speech model (~600 MB) downloads once in the background; dictation works immediately via Apple's built-in model while it does.
Upgrading from an earlier build
If LocalFlow was already installed and Accessibility was already granted, updating to this build can leave the menu bar showing "Hotkey inactive" even though the Accessibility toggle looks on. This is a known side effect of ad-hoc code signing (each build has a different code identity, so macOS can hold a stale grant tied to the old binary). Fix: open Privacy & Security -> Accessibility, remove LocalFlow with the minus button, then relaunch and re-grant. Developer ID signing and notarization are planned, which will remove this step entirely for future releases.
Known limitations
- Unsigned build: see the notes above on first launch and on upgrades.
- "Type live into the focused app" (Settings -> General) is experimental and does not yet reliably type into the target app; leave it off unless you are testing it.
- Full troubleshooting and the complete feature list: see the README at https://github.com/saiteja05/localflow#readme
