Description

Aiko is an AI transcription app from Sindre Sorhus that helps users convert audio into text on macOS, iOS, and visionOS. The app is powered by OpenAI’s Whisper model and runs transcription locally on the user’s device. This on-device approach makes Aiko well suited for private meetings, lectures, interviews, voice notes, and sensitive recordings. On macOS, Aiko uses the Whisper large v2 model, while iOS uses the medium or small model depending on available device memory. The app supports Shortcuts, giving users flexible ways to record, transcribe, copy results, create subtitles, save text, or connect transcripts to other workflows. Users can transcribe from Finder on macOS, record and transcribe from iPhone shortcuts, or build custom workflows that pass transcripts into apps like Notes or ChatGPT. Aiko includes a free 14-day TestFlight trial with full app access and no auto-charges. Older macOS versions are available for users on macOS 13, 14, and 15. By combining local Whisper transcription, Apple platform support, privacy, and Shortcuts automation, Aiko gives users a simple way to turn speech into text.

Description

Private Mind is a completely offline AI assistant designed to prioritize user privacy by operating solely on the device. This assistant embodies the philosophy that AI should remain local, ensuring that conversations, files, prompts, and all data stay on the user's device rather than being transmitted to cloud servers. Users can engage with Private Mind without the need for Wi-Fi connectivity, sign-ups, or tracking, making it an essential tool for various tasks like trip planning, text translation, idea brainstorming, data analysis, and learning, especially in situations where internet access is limited. Moreover, Private Mind's unique ability to facilitate chat interactions with personal files allows users to leverage on-device AI for intelligent document retrieval without compromising their privacy. Additionally, it features a speech-to-text capability, enabling users to communicate naturally and receive immediate local transcriptions via Whisper. Furthermore, its compatibility with multiple open-source AI models enhances its versatility and functionality. This combination of features ensures that users can rely on Private Mind for a wide range of applications without sacrificing their security or privacy.
