Show HN: Yap – OSS on-device voice dictation for macOS with no model to download

Yap is a free, open-source voice dictation tool for macOS that uses built-in operating system APIs to transcribe speech without requiring users to download heavy models or send audio to external servers. The application runs from the menu bar, activates via keyboard shortcut, and pastes transcribed text directly into any application, keeping all transcripts stored locally for privacy. It addresses limitations of existing voice-to-text solutions by eliminating download requirements, API costs, and resource-heavy processes that slow down older Macs.
