OpenFlow – Open-source local voice-to-text app for macOS

Summary: OpenFlow is a free, open-source macOS app that transcribes speech to text locally using Whisper. It operates via a global shortcut from any app, requiring no internet, accounts, or subscriptions.

What it does

OpenFlow captures voice input through a shortcut and converts it to text at the cursor using whisper.cpp entirely on the Mac, without sending data to external servers.

Who it's for

It is designed for macOS users seeking offline, privacy-focused voice-to-text transcription without cloud dependencies or subscriptions.

Why it matters

OpenFlow eliminates reliance on cloud services and accounts, ensuring voice data remains private and local while providing seamless transcription.
