Wisp is local dictation for macOS. Hold a key, talk, and finished text lands in whatever app you're using. Free to use, $19.99 once if you want to support future development.
I built Wisp for myself, wanting to have a fast-on-device dictation app. So that I wasn't reliant on using ChatGPT Codex after it kept losing transcripts of mine and also is incredibly slow.
I didn't want to use any of the off-the-shelf Open Source apps or the paid apps that have a ton of features that are completely unrelated to just using your voice to dictate to the computer what you want to have written.
I wanted to avoid bloat. And I wanted to avoid bad experiences.
Wisp is entirely optimized for English.
It's fast and instant.
It runs on your Mac.
The app is native.
Everything is private.
And it's 100% free.

This was built on macOS Sequoia. And I spotted two UI bugs on macOS 27, which means they're also there on macOS 26. Those are being fixed in the upcoming 0.4 release.
If you use the app and you like it, and it's missing something that would help you use it on a daily basis, let me know on Twitter, and I will take a look at it.
