It's a free, open-source alternative to Wispr Flow and SuperWhisper, and it runs offline by default. What you get: - It stays private. Transcription runs locally with Whisper, so there's no account, no cloud, no telemetry, and nothing screenshots your screen. Audio only leaves your machine if you deliberately switch to a cloud engine. - No word caps, no subscription. Wispr's free tier stops at 2,000 words a week and then runs $12–15/mo. yap is MIT-licensed, with no meter and nothing to upsell. - Same on every OS. macOS, Windows and Linux share one config file. - Quick. Faster than real time on CPU with the base model, near-instant with a GPU or a cloud key. - Your keys, your endpoints. Point it at OpenAI, Groq, or a Whisper server you host yourself. There's an optional LLM cleanup pass too, against any OpenAI-compatible API. Download — no terminal needed Grab it for your platform — macOS is a signed, notarized app; Windows & Linux install in one line (see Install): :---: :---: :---: macOS: signed & notarized — just open it (no right-click dance). On first launch, Allow the Microphone, Accessibility, and Input Monitoring prompts; after allowing Accessibility, quit and reopen Yap once so the hotkey activates. Then hold your hotkey and talk. Comfortable with a terminal? See Install below.
