About

I built Yakki because I wanted to do more with my voice — locally, with full control of my privacy. I started exploring what's possible with AI and how to give people super powers through their apps.Yakki is a macOS menu bar utility for push-to-talk voice dictation. Hold a hotkey, speak, and your words stream into any app with sub-200ms latency. Everything runs on-device using Parakeet STT and Whisper — no audio leaves your Mac.What makes it special: Yakki reads your screen context via OCR and formats text intelligently based on what app you're in. Email gets professional tone. Chat stays concise. Code editors get clean formatting.Also includes: meeting transcription with speaker ID, app audio capture, hot-swappable engines, and searchable history.
