$ 100% local dictation for Linux
Speak.
It types.
Hold a key and talk. Freeflow cleans up what you said and drops it at your cursor, in any app. Nothing you say leaves your machine.
How it works
No cloud. Three steps.
-
1
Hold the hotkey and talk
Freeflow records only while you hold the key. Release to stop.
-
2
Your machine transcribes it
whisper.cpp turns your voice into text right on your computer. Nothing is uploaded.
-
3
Clean text lands at your cursor
A small local AI tidies the words, then Freeflow types the result where you were.

Why this exists.
Every mainstream dictation tool streams your voice to someone else's server. Freeflow started as a bet that a modern Linux machine can do the whole job itself: whisper.cpp handles the listening, a small local model does the tidying, and your words never touch a network.
It is free, MIT licensed and built in the open. Read the code, file an issue, or rip it apart and make your own. The only account you need is the one you already have: your own computer.
