Field notes
The app uses the right Command key as a push-to-talk control, leaving the active application in place while it transcribes. The page identifies whisper.cpp large-v3-turbo as the local model and lists a one-time 574 MB download, with support for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. It also describes Escape-based cancellation, clipboard restoration, and a microphone indicator intended to reveal silence before an empty transcript is inserted.
