Mallo — Speak. It types at your cursor.

Voice dictation for macOS that types at your cursor

Visit mallo.soAlternativestop 11% of March 2026

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.

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
