About this app
Turn your voice into text anywhere on your Mac. WhisperShortcut lives in your menu bar — press a shortcut, speak, and your words are ready to paste in any app. Open source. No subscription, no account. Bring your own API key, or run fully offline with local Whisper. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Dictate — Speak and get clean text on your clipboard. Use cloud models or local Whisper, fully offline and private. • Voice editing — Copy any text, then say an instruction like "make this shorter" or "translate to English" to rewrite it. • Read Aloud — Select text anywhere and hear it in natural AI voices, at the speed you choose. • AI Chat — A built-in chat with multiple models, screenshots, image and file attachments, web search and slash commands. • Screenshots — Capture your screen and attach it to a voice prompt or chat. • Live Meeting — Record and transcribe meetings as they happen, with a local transcript. • Smart Improvement — The app learns your vocabulary and preferences over time. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Local-first, with no backend and no sign-up. Your audio and text go only to the AI provider you choose with your own key — or never leave your Mac with local Whisper. WORKS WITH YOUR TOOLS Google Gemini, OpenAI (GPT), and xAI (Grok). Optional Google (Calendar, Tasks, Gmail) and Trello integrations turn chat into a hands-free assistant. Requires macOS 15.5 or later.
Latest release
What’s New
Connect OpenRouter with one click — sign in instead of creating and pasting an API key. One connection covers both dictation and chat, and you pick models from a live list. YouTube videos in chat — paste a link and a Gemini model watches the video instead of guessing from search results. Add a timestamp and it analyses a ten-minute window around that moment. Share Usage Report — a summary of how the app has actually worked for you, containing no transcripts, prompts, replies, or audio. You see the full text before anything is sent. The transcription model picker now groups models as Direct, Routed and Offline, so it is clear which account each one bills. Fixes: Dictate Prompt no longer pastes raw JSON into your document when an edit cannot be applied. Gemini 3.1 Pro is no longer offered for dictation, because it fails to answer short recordings. Long, tool-heavy chat turns no longer lose the final answer.
