Hold a hotkey, speak, release — your words are transcribed and pasted into whatever app you're using. Ptarmigan Flow is a push-to-talk dictation daemon for macOS that runs speech recognition entirely on-device with Moonshine, so no audio ever leaves your Mac.

Hi Product Hunt! I'm Keiju, the maker of Ptarmigan Flow.
I wanted dictation that (1) works in every app, (2) never sends my voice to the cloud, and (3) doesn't need a subscription. So I built a small daemon: hold a hotkey, talk, release, and the text appears where your cursor is — powered by on-device Moonshine models.
It's free and open source. I'd really appreciate feedback on latency, recognition quality, and the permission setup experience. Thanks for checking it out!
