🎂 Birthdays, 👶 Babies & 🗣️ Better Dictation

Our streak of 22 weekly releases has survived this week

Hey everyone,

This week was not just another week.

Gaël, our Swift/UI magician turned 40! (He celebrated by fixing the code block wrap bug and handling the big Thursday Google overload)
Kévin, our backend lead, is dad, again! Welcome to the world, little Nathan!

Despite cake, diapers flying around and me gone with family, we refused to miss a release. Here’s the surprise 👇

🆕 Local Whisper Dictation

You asked, we listened: Apple’s built-in dictation was… meh.

Now you can run OpenAI’s Whisper on your Mac—no cloud, no leaks, few mistakes.

Mode	Lives where	Why you’d pick it
Apple Dictation	On-device	No good reason
Local Whisper	On-device	Accuracy + privacy
Alter Cloud	Our servers	Long meetings, tough accents, smart formatting, speaker identification

Try it: Settings → Dictation → pick a model.
(Pro tip: start with Small for speed.)

Why you’ll care

That’s it. Update Alter, try Whisper, and ping us in Discord if anything breaks.
