    Sorry about these issues - appreciate all the details. Are you on an Intel Mac by any chance?

    Apple's built in dictation still executes parts of it online and even has a disclosure that it "sends information like your voice input, contacts, and location to Apple." This proj…

    Thank you for this feedback! Heard from other folks the menu bar is redundant too - will kill it in the next update and fix the F13 issue. And interesting re: history - it does hav…

    Totally! I honestly think so many frontier AI models will be running locally in the future. This is just the start.

    It's a great name. Glad someone else thought of something similar!

    I think it once did! Now it doesn't - ways to easily verify this: 1) install the dmg in the GH repo 2) turn off wifi 3) use it offline

    That would be a super trivial fork actually! You basically just need this file https://github.com/FrigadeHQ/yap/blob/main/Sources/Services/... and then wrap a cli around it :)

    I don't think you're missing something - Apple's built in dictation is pretty good. The biggest issue is that it still executes parts of it online via Apple's servers and even has …

    Thanks for linking! I've used both Apple's and Parakeet locally for a while and haven't been able to spot the difference in quality and speed is better on Apple's model (+ doesn't …

    Show HN: Yap – OSS on-device voice dictation for macOS with no model to download

    Hey HN! I wanted to share this OSS project I've been working on. It's called Yap and its a small menu-bar app for macOS that does voice to text for any input. You'll set a hotkey, …

    Luckily no. The calls are executed client-side just like they would if you were using the UI.

    We only do this with consent from the application owner - the use case is typically companies who don’t have an AI agent yet who want fast path to get one. This is the process we u…

    This works for non-authenticated sites but wouldn't work for anything behind a login wall that requires a JWT or similar - right?

    Yup just another user account. It can work without this as well (we support ingesting other resources such as help center articles, pdfs, etc.) but at that point it's no different …

    Even with an API spec it wouldn't "just work". You'd still need to handle authentication and have a place to manage which APIs you want the in-app agent to have access to / when to…

    We use a browser-based agent to learn all the APIs and turn them into skills. Most users will run this in a staging/test account to create all the recipes/blueprints. Our agent is …
