First public build of Velora — local-first, on-device dictation for macOS (Apple Silicon).

Install

  1. Download Velora-0.1.0.dmg below, open it, drag Velora to Applications.
  2. This build is self-signed, not yet notarized, so the first open needs right-click → Open (or System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway).
  3. On first launch, grant Microphone, Input Monitoring, and Accessibility when prompted — all three are required for the hotkey and text insertion to work.
  4. The engine downloads its models (~4 GB) from Hugging Face on first run; after that everything runs offline.

Prefer to build from source? See the README — make app.

Highlights

  • Multilingual dictation (English, Indian English, Hindi + more) via on-device whisper-large-v3-turbo
  • App-aware LLM cleanup with custom modes/prompts
  • History browser, 6-month audio archive + reprocess, optional romanized (Hinglish) output
  • Zero network calls at dictation time

⚠️ Requires Apple Silicon (M1+) and macOS 14+.
