MacWhisper

What it is

MacWhisper runs locally on your Mac using Whisper and Parakeet models: it transcribes audio and video, records meetings and system audio, lets you dictate into any app, identifies speakers and accepts YouTube links. It supports 100+ languages. The free version includes the main features; Pro is a one-time payment of €64 with lifetime updates and adds export to Markdown, PDF, DOCX and subtitles, translation, and Notion and Zapier integrations. Files never leave your computer, which matters for sensitive recordings.
