Muesli is an open-source native macOS app that combines hotkey-driven AI dictation with local meeting transcription, running speech-to-text entirely on-device on Apple Silicon. It offers WisprFlow-style dictation and Granola-style meeting notes with speaker diarization, plus optional AI-generated meeting summaries via cloud or local Ollama models.

Use cases

• dictate text anywhere on my mac with a hotkey
• transcribe meetings locally without a cloud bot
• generate meeting notes and action items from transcripts
• private speech-to-text that never leaves my device
• open-source granola alternative for meeting notes
• wispr flow alternative for voice dictation
• identify speakers in remote meeting transcripts

When to choose

• you want fully on-device speech-to-text on Apple Silicon with near-zero latency
• you need both dictation and meeting transcription in one privacy-first tool
• you prefer open-source alternatives to Granola or WisprFlow
• you want meeting summaries via your own OpenAI, OpenRouter, ChatGPT, or local Ollama models

When to avoid

• you need Windows or Linux support - it is macOS 14.2+ only
• you require cloud-scale transcription for many users or servers
• you need non-Apple Silicon Intel Mac support
