ExecuWhisper
+ +ExecuWhisper is your free, open-source alternative to Wispr Flow and SuperWhisper.
+ +If you don't want to pay $12–$15/month for Wispr Flow or SuperWhisper but want the core flow — press a hotkey, dictate, get clean punctuated text pasted into the focused app — ExecuWhisper does just that, **fully on-device**: NVIDIA Parakeet-TDT for ASR (Metal) + a fine-tuned LiquidAI LFM2.5-350M for cleanup (MLX), running on [ExecuTorch](https://github.com/pytorch/executorch). No cloud, no API keys, no telemetry; the only network call is the first-launch model download from Hugging Face Hub. + +**100% free** for personal and commercial use under BSD-3-Clause. Wispr Flow / SuperWhisper are great products and this is not a 1:1 clone — if you need cloud sync, team collab, or agentic "rules," support those teams. If you want something free, open, and that keeps your voice on your laptop, this is for you. + +> **Status:** v0.1.0 — Apple Silicon, macOS 14+. Three required ExecuTorch helper PRs are still in upstream review (see [Build From Source](#build-from-source)); prebuilt arm64 helpers are attached to the [GitHub Release](#install-prebuilt) so you don't have to build them yourself. + +## Demo + +### In-app dictation + +https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b0557b3d-fd2e-4c8d-9ca1-dd9a35f6736c + +**What you hear in the clip:** + +> _"Uh can we, can we move the meeting uh to Friday, actually no, let's let's make it Monday at 10 in the morning."_ + +**What gets pasted:** + +> Can we move the meeting to Friday? Actually, no, let's make it Monday at 10 AM in the morning. + +### System-wide overlay dictation + +Press the global hotkey (`Ctrl+Space` by default) in any app — Notes, Slack, browser, IDE — and a floating overlay captures speech, then auto-pastes the formatted text into the focused text field. + +https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b840bf99-e221-4c19-ba2e-771903fa357b + +(Recording outline lives in [`docs/DEMO_SCRIPT.md`](docs/DEMO_SCRIPT.md).) + +## Architecture + +
