Keebye

Keebye is a high-performance, push-to-talk dictation tool engineered for developers and 'parallel builders' who manage multiple workflows or AI agents simultaneously. Unlike cloud-based solutions, Keebye runs its speech-to-text engines entirely on-device, ensuring that audio never leaves the user's computer. It features a seamless workflow where holding a hotkey (like Right ⌘ or Right Windows) records speech and releasing it instantly inserts the text into the focused application.

Key Features:

• On-Device Processing: Utilizes local models like Parakeet (English) and Canary (25 languages) for private, offline transcription.
• Terminal-Aware Insertion: Specifically designed to work with terminal emulators, SSH sessions, and tmux through terminal-aware chunking and synthetic typing.
• Smart Transcript Cleanup: Automatically removes fillers, false starts, and doubled words using deterministic rules or an optional local LLM polish pass.
• Custom Dictionary: Users can define specific jargon, product names, and acronyms to ensure high accuracy for technical terminology.
• Privacy & Security: Local text-only history with 30-day auto-delete and a security feature on macOS that prevents typing into password fields.
• Cross-Platform: Native support for Apple Silicon Macs (macOS 11+) and 64-bit Windows 10/11 PCs.
