Questions

Frequently
asked

Does it work offline?
Yes. Everything runs on your Mac. No internet needed after the one-time model download (~200MB). Transcription, AI cleanup, text injection — all local.
Which Macs are supported?
Any Mac with Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) running macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
