Show HN: Kekoso – On-device dictation and transcription for macOS
Kekoso is a one-time purchase macOS app that brings fast, private, on-device speech-to-text to your Mac. Dictate into any app with a hotkey, transcribe audio files or YouTube links, record and separate both sides of calls, and even give your AI agents a local transcription server via MCP. All processing runs on your Apple silicon Neural Engine—no cloud, no account, no subscription. With support for 99 languages, customizable vocabulary, and transparent model choices, Kekoso replaces multiple subscriptions with a single, privacy-first tool.
Recording locally is not the same as processing locally. No account, no upload, no server to subpoena.
