Description
Hold Fn, speak, and nchova types in any app: Slack, Notion, Mail, the terminal. Speech recognition runs on your Mac, even offline, and the audio never leaves it. It also transcribes your calls on Zoom, Meet, Teams or Slack with no bot in the call, tells the voices apart and writes the notes when the call ends: with Apple's model, Qwen on your Mac, or your own Claude Code or Codex. Free forever with Apple's models. Pro is €29.99 once, no subscription.

Could you build this?
Partial Writing a macOS menubar UI and triggering global accessibility hotkeys is easy, but capturing system audio loopback without virtual audio drivers or bots, running low-latency local Whisper models, and diarizing voices locally requires specialized native macOS audio engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires native macOS Swift/Objective-C development using CoreAudio and the ScreenCaptureKit API to capture system audio streams from meeting apps directly. The audio must be processed in real-time through an on-device Whisper engine (e.g., whisper.cpp or CoreML) along with an embedded speaker diarization pipeline (e.g., PyAnnote CoreML port) tuned for low memory and latency constraints.
