I just killed Wispr Flow, Superwhisper and Willow voice.
LocalBolo is native mac os dictation app, running completely on open source model.

Both Open source model ie STT and cleanup model runs on Apple's neural engine, giving around 1-2s of whole pipeline speed. Some times under a second.

This is the benchmark result Opus 5.5 did for LocalBolo.
An offline native mac os dictation app which runs entirely on open source model
I asked Opus 5.5 to run evals on open source model with different parameters.
The goal is to be as fast and accurate as possible.
The winner is Qwen 2.5 1.5B with parakeet.

2026 will end in 90 days, technically 87.
I’m starting an experiment to build and ship a product.
The goal is to become consistent: consistent in marketing, expressing myself, and becoming more articulate in my thoughts.

Imagine how early you are if you’ve never paid for cloud dictation app ever.

> Using only open source model
> Fully Native and local.
Dictation has to feel instant.
If you finish speaking and wait for the text, we haven’t done our job.
We ran 1,000 short dictations through five apps:
Willow: 190 ms
Wispr Flow: 400 ms
Superwhisper: 480 ms
Aqua Voice: 550 ms
Typeless: 900 ms

I want to start youtube channel related to my work in the style of Vlog.
Any tips on what to know before starting ? What is the frequency of posting videos ?

After launching localbolo(.)app, I am struggling with distribution.
Here is how, I am going to fix it
- For the 90days I'll post short form video on Instagram, X, Threads and Facebook
- Spend 1hr engaging on all social media.
- Weekly publish Vlog on youtube

I replaced my $12/month dictation app with two open models on an 8 GB M1 Macbook pro.
Works offline with accuracy and speed similar or more than the cloud based application.
