What's New

First public release with full cross-platform support.

Highlights

  • Local-first STT — Uses whisper.cpp CLI directly. No Python, no server, no cloud.

  • Auto model download — GGML whisper model (~75 MB) downloads automatically on first use.
  • Works in VS Code and Cursor — Standard VS Code extension APIs only.
  • macOS, Linux, Windows — Platform-specific install instructions in README.

Features

  • Press Alt+V (Option+V on Mac) to start recording
  • Voice Activity Detection (VAD) auto-stops on silence
