Show HN: Wordmate – local speech-to-text for macOS (github.com)

Hi HN!

I built Wordmate because I wanted WisprFlow-style dictation locally on my machine. It’s a free macOS app. Audio and transcripts never leave your Mac.

Speech recognition uses Parakeet and optional post-processing uses a tuned Qwen3 0.6B 4-bit to improve punctuation and capitalization and clean up fillers, stutters, and spoken corrections.

The complete transcription pipeline is open source: https://github.com/vdszds/wordmate

You can download the app at https://wordmate.sh. I’d appreciate your feedback!
