About QuickWhisper
QuickWhisper is a macOS application for transcription, dictation, and AI summarization using OpenAI's Whisper model. It runs entirely on-device with no cloud dependency required.

System-wide dictation works across all macOS applications, replacing keyboard input with voice. All transcription runs on your Mac.
AI summarization is available through cloud providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Mistral, Groq) or on-device via Ollama and LM Studio.
QuickWhisper also includes batch transcription, Watch Folders for automatic background transcription, speaker diarization, Apple Shortcuts integration, and webhooks for third-party service integration.
