Correct. Transcription runs locally on your Mac. The only network calls Yaps makes are for license verification and (if you opt in) an anonymous app-update ping. You can audit traffic with Little Snitch, and we publish the request list in our docs.
Yes. Yaps inserts text by simulating a paste, so anywhere you can type — native or Electron — it works. VS Code, Cursor, Slack, Notion, Linear, Discord, Figma comments, Mail, Notes, Safari fields, terminal apps. We test against the top 50 macOS apps each release.
In our internal benchmarks Yaps sits around 4–6% WER on conversational speech — comparable to the best cloud APIs and meaningfully better than Apple Dictation on names, code, and brand terms. Speed and accuracy modes are togglable from the menu bar.
macOS 12 Monterey or later. Apple silicon (M1+) gives the best latency — most dictations land in 200–400 ms after you release the key. Intel Macs work too; expect roughly 700 ms in speed mode and 1.4 s in accuracy mode.
Not today. Yaps is a Mac-first product — we wanted to do one platform really well before stretching across OSes. Windows is on the roadmap; Linux is being scoped. Subscribe at the bottom and we’ll email you the moment a build is ready.
No — and on purpose. Yaps is fully on-device for transcription, so there are no API keys to manage. For cleanup we use a tiny local model. Less to configure, less to leak.
