No trials, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases. Free forever.Does it work without an internet connection?After the initial model download, everything runs on-device. Turn off Wi-Fi and it works the same.Which Macs are supported?Any Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or later) running macOS 14 Sonoma or newer. Intel Macs are not supported because Whisper models require the Neural Engine.Which languages does it support?English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Turkish, Ukrainian, Polish, Dutch, and Russian. You can also set it to auto-detect.How accurate is the transcription?Depends on the model. Large-v3-turbo rivals cloud services. Base is faster but less precise. Pick the trade-off that works for you.Why does Fisper need Accessibility permission?It types text by simulating keystrokes into whatever app is focused. macOS requires Accessibility access for that. Without it, Fisper can record but cannot inject text.Will it conflict with macOS built-in dictation?Not if you pick a different shortcut. The default F5 does not clash with Apple's dictation trigger. Six other hotkey options are available.How much disk space do the models need?Base is ~150 MB, Small is ~500 MB, Large-v3-turbo is ~3 GB. Models are downloaded once and cached locally.Release Notesv1.0.1February 8, 2026–Updated app icon and refined color palettev1.0.0Initial ReleaseFebruary 7, 2026–System-wide voice dictation on macOS using local Whisper models–Live streaming mode - text appears as you speak in real time–Batch mode - transcribe everything after recording stops–Three model tiers: base (~150 MB), small (~500 MB), large-v3-turbo (~3 GB)–Seven configurable global shortcuts (⌥Space, F5, Right ⌘×2, and more)–Terminal auto-submit - press hotkey, speak, command executes automatically–Menu bar app with floating pill-shaped HUD overlay–Auto-updates via Sparkle - always on the latest version–100% local - no cloud, no accounts, no internet requiredDownloadStop typing what you could just say.
