Open-source Mac dictation App that's 100% on-device

Hold Fn, speak, and Megaphone types clean text into any Mac app. Apple’s SpeechAnalyzer transcribes as you talk, while on-device Foundation Models remove fillers, fix self-corrections, adapt to app context, and power inline voice commands. No account, API key, subscription, or server. Free, MIT-licensed, and native to Apple silicon Macs running macOS 26.

100% on-device is the part that sold me — no cloud round-trip for dictation means it should work fine offline and nothing leaves the machine, which is rare for this category. What's the on-device model you're running for transcription, and how's accuracy holding up against something like Whisper cloud on technical/code-heavy speech? Also curious if it's Swift/native or if you're wrapping something cross-platform under the hood.
since everything is local with no account or server, what happens to the private Dictionary if you use more than one Mac. does it stay per machine and you re-teach it your names and jargon on each one, or is there some sync path that doesn't involve a cloud account
