You think faster than you type. That's the problem.

Every time you reach for the keyboard to explain something, half the thought evaporates. You edit while you compose. You backspace. You rephrase. By the time you hit send, you've said half of what you meant to.

pspsps fixes this.

Hold Command. Talk. Let go. Your words appear at the cursor — in whatever app you're using, at whatever speed you think. Whisper transcribes on your Mac, locally. Audio is processed and deleted. Nothing leaves.

What you get

Push-to-talk — hold ⌘, speak, release. Text appears at your cursor in any app.

100% local — Whisper.cpp on your CPU and GPU. No cloud, no account, no internet required.

Pre-buffered mic — already listening when you press the key. Catches the first syllable.

Smart cleanup — strips "um" and "like," fixes casing, adds punctuation. Or review before injecting.

5 Whisper models — tiny is instant, large catches every nuance. English-optimized + 99 languages.

The cheapest option that isn't free.

Apple Dictation sends your audio to the cloud. The alternatives cost more — a lot more.

Details

Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Runs best on Apple Silicon (M1 and newer) — the medium model transcribes in about 2–4 seconds. Intel Macs work, just slower with the larger models. Sold direct because the app needs Accessibility permissions that App Store sandboxing blocks. Supports 99 languages via multilingual Whisper models, with English-optimized models available for best accuracy.
