Whytap – An open-source productivity toolkit in your Mac's notch

Voice input and an AI agent in your Mac's notch.

Bring your own keys. No account, no servers, no telemetry.

Drop: hold Space in any text field, speak, release, and the text is pasted at the cursor. Fast pastes the transcript; Smart lightly edits it with your model.

Agent: tap Right ⌘ to type a question or hold it to speak. It reads files, searches the web and answers in the island.

Meeting Assistant (pilot): get help answering questions during a call using your project's files. Configure its models and select a Space to listen automatically during recognized meetings, or type a question. Attach screenshots for visual context. Setup.

Meeting notes: notices calls in Zoom, Teams, Slack and Google Meet and turns them into a summary with a transcript.

History: your clipboard, dictations and agent answers in one list, ready to paste again.

Case: a secrets vault for Claude Code, Cursor and Whytap Agent. Agents see key names; Case puts the value into the command they run.

Shot: a screenshot editor with arrows, text blur and Copy text.

Display Extra: brighter whites on XDR and HDR displays, beyond the usual maximum.

Notify: notifications from any script your coding agent writes, next to the island.

Also in the island: Translate and live Subtitles, Vocab, To-do, Calendar and Monitor dashboards.

Use your own keys for Soniox, Deepgram, ElevenLabs, OpenRouter, OpenAI or Anthropic, or your own OpenAI-compatible server. Keys stay in the macOS Keychain.

Audio and text go only to the provider you chose for that feature. There is no Whytap account, backend or telemetry.

Free and open source under the MIT license.

What leaves your Mac, and when: Privacy.
