Yap delivers on‑device, open‑source dictation for Mac with zero cloud exposure
Yap is a 4 MB Swift app that runs entirely on macOS 26, using Apple’s SpeechAnalyzer API to transcribe speech locally. It requires no account, model download, or internet connection, and can be launched from a shortcut to paste text anywhere. The result is fast, private dictation that beats many cloud‑based alternatives.
