I built FnScribe because I'm pretty privacy concious and wanted a wispr flow-like app that kept everything local and on device. Currently works for Mac (sillicon and intel). It's dead simple. Hold the fn key, speak and release. I use a quantized Wisper small.en model for transcription. It inserts the text into the active application. There's also a hands-free model for longer dictation. Audio transcription is kept in memory. There's no account or transcription history. Clipboard contents are restored after it inserts it. GPLv3, Mac-only, English only..still in alpha. Hope you enjoy it! Would…

Hi HN. This is Yujong from Hyprnote. Hyprnote is an open-source, local-first macOS app that you can use for meetings. - It uses Mic + System Audio for audio sources. - Whisper (small-en-q8) + Llama (3b-q8) for transcription + summarization. Some interesting bits: - Extension & plugin system that you can use to create widgets (inspired by VSCode). - Built with Libsql. Will enable DB sync across cloud/devices in the future. There are still some rough edges, but I thought it is worth sharing the concept and getting feedback. We have an interesting onboarding video. Please try it out!…
