Show HN: Ghost Pepper – 100% local hold-to-talk speech-to-text for macOS (github.com) AI

Show HN Ghost Pepper is a macOS menu-bar app that provides hold-to-talk speech-to-text entirely on-device: press Control to record, release to transcribe, and paste the result. It uses WhisperKit for transcription and a local Qwen-based model to clean up filler words and self-corrections, with no cloud APIs and no data written to disk. The project also documents setup requirements (Microphone and Accessibility permissions) and an enterprise/MDM path to pre-approve Accessibility.
