# GhostQuill

> GhostQuill is a free menu-bar app for macOS that turns speech into typed text, entirely on-device. Hold a shortcut, speak, release — the words land in whatever text field has focus, in any application.

## Facts

- Price: free
- Platform: macOS 15 or later, Apple Silicon
- Privacy: speech recognition runs fully on-device; audio never leaves the Mac, is never stored, and there is no backend, no account, no analytics
- Works offline after a one-time speech-model download
- Customizable: hotkey, language, and speech-model size are user-configurable
- A silence gate drops accidental key taps, so dead air never reaches the model
- Download (macOS .dmg): https://github.com/szaycev/ghostquill-releases/releases/latest/download/GhostQuill.dmg
- The website includes an interactive demo of the hold-to-speak flow
