Mallo — Speak. It types at your cursor.

What it does

Mallo is a native macOS dictation app that types directly at your cursor in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, terminals, docs, and any text field. Use a hotkey to speak, then let Mallo insert text where you are already working. It supports multiple local speech models including Whisper, Parakeet, and Qwen, plus optional dictionary replacements and on-device history controls. No copy-paste workflow, no web box, just faster voice input for real Mac workflows.

Mallo is a Mac dictation app that types into ChatGPT, Claude Code, docs, chat, and any text field where you work. Press a hotkey, speak, and keep moving.

Press a hotkey and speak. Mallo types into ChatGPT, Claude Code, docs, chat, and the app you're already using. - Morning: polish the hero showcase and tune HUD timing. Afternoon: validate mobile readability, confirm the one-pass loading sweep behavior, and complete the final pre-release QA checklist. Before shipping, re-check English and Korean copy length balance, verify line wrapping on narrow screens, and capture final screenshots for release notes. Share the exact request in one message, and I will return friendly Korean and English options with matching button labels. Can you rewrite our first-run onboarding message so new users quickly understand the hotkey helper? Give me two short…from mallo.so

  I built a macOS dictation app where everything runs on-device. Transcription, auto-correct, translation. No audio or text leaves your machine. It ships with 4 transcription engines you can swap between: WhisperKit (99 languages), NVIDIA Parakeet TDT 0.6B (25 European languages, fastest of the bunch), Qwen3-ASR 0.6B (30 languages), and Apple Speech on macOS 26+. They all run through CoreML/Metal. Whisper is the most versatile, Parakeet wins on raw latency for European languages, Qwen3 does better with CJK. I went with a protocol-based architecture so you pick the engine that fits your…

  TongueType for macOSMay 2026 · tonguetype.app · ▲109

  Hi HN, I'm a longtime web dev, but this is my first macOS app. Feedback is very welcome <3 I built TongueType because every dictation app I tried failed at least one of three things: it sent my audio to someone's cloud, it charged me monthly fee, or it felt clunky or enterprisy. The cloud thing kills it for anything sensitive. The subscription thing is insulting for what amounts to "Whisper + a hotkey." TongueType runs Whisper locally on Apple Silicon via CoreML. It's built to feel like a second keyboard: tap the hotkey, talk, let go, words appear. It sits in the menu bar (no dock icon, no…

  I built a voice dictation app for macOS mostly because I was tired of how awful Siri is and I didn't want to pay a subscription for cloud tools. The app uses NVIDIA's Parakeet v3 (TDT) as the primary engine. Inference is handled by the FluidAudio library. It's insanely fast on M-series chips. For Intel users, I added local Whisper support ranging from Tiny up to Large v3 Turbo (quantized to save space). The interesting part was the AI integration. I originally tried to pipeline the ASR output into Apple's Intelligence Foundation Model. It was a nightmare, because the content moderation…
