Harps turns your Mac into a voice-first scratchpad

Field notes

Harps is organized around a single hold-to-talk gesture: hold Option-Space, speak, and release to place the transcription at the active cursor. It stores captures as one plain Markdown file per day rather than only inside an app database, with search and adjustable hotkey, model, and behavior settings. The page claims local processing, no uploaded audio, and compatibility with applications ranging from Mail and Slack to terminal and secure password fields.
