What it does

Meet GlossOne, a native macOS menu bar app that turns live speech into instant text and bilingual subtitles, from your mic or any app's audio. Everything runs on-device by default, so your conversations never leave your Mac. Float captions over Zoom or any call, caption videos and podcasts, transcribe files, keep a searchable history, and export to SRT, VTT, TXT or Markdown. One time purchase, free trial, no subscription.

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481
Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
