Yakki is a macOS menu bar app for push-to-talk voice dictation. Hold a hotkey, speak naturally, and your words stream into whatever app you're in — with sub-200ms latency and zero cloud dependency. Running entirely on your Mac. Context-aware AI reads your screen and adapts formatting automatically. Meeting transcription, notes, participant identification, app audio capture, and hot-swappable engines included.

I built Yakki because I wanted to do more with my voice locally, with full control of my privacy. It works SUPER well and my users are very happy. Please give it a try and let me know!!
