Your voice never leaves your machine.

Whisper runs entirely on-device via whisper.cpp. Audio is processed in memory, never written to disk, never sent to a server.

Every app gets its own rules.

VS Code uses keyboard injection. Slack uses clipboard paste. PressType auto-detects the active app and applies the right profile — or you set your own.
