GoKawiilQwen Scribe
Private, local transcription and system-wide dictation for Apple Silicon.
Qwen Scribe transcribes audio and video with Qwen3-ASR running through mlx-qwen3-asr on the Mac's Metal GPU. There is no account, API key, or Qwen Scribe cloud service. Audio and transcript text stay on the Mac.
Project status: v0.1.0-beta.1 . Core transcription, history, and dictation work. Releases are source-only for now: app builds are not yet Developer ID signed or notarized, so you build locally with make app . Signed and notarized binaries are planned for v0.2, see ROADMAP.md. Feedback and careful testing are welcome.
The interface above uses synthetic demo text; no private recording or transcript is shown.
