WhisperShortcut

Voice-first macOS menu bar app for dictation, TTS, and AI chat via hotkeys

Desktopfree

WhisperShortcut is an open-source macOS menu bar app for voice-first workflows: pressing a hotkey transcribes speech straight to the clipboard, rewrites copied text from a spoken instruction, or reads selected text aloud. It also offers an AI chat that can connect to Calendar, Gmail, Tasks, and Trello, plus live meeting transcription. Users bring their own API key for a cloud provider or run transcription fully offline with local Whisper, with no account or subscription needed.
