Lesskeys is a native macOS menu-bar application that provides both dictation and transcription capabilities entirely on-device using Apple Silicon's GPU. Users can press a global hotkey (⌥Space) to dictate anywhere on their Mac, with text copied to the clipboard. It also transcribes recorded audio, video, calls, and meetings while automatically labeling speakers. The app requires no internet, account, or subscription — users pay once.
