Been working on https://handy.computer. It's similar to SuperWhisper and others, but is open source and cross platform
It uses whisper.cpp under the hood and should be accelerated on most devices using the Vulkan backend
thanks for making this! I'd love to use the microphone key (fn + mic) to trigger Handy but even after turning off dictation it doesn't seem like the system allows that key to be used (I get a dialog prompting me to turn on dictation).
hey! these kinds of keyboard related things are well solved by Karabiner elements:

There you can map (whatever key) to (whatever other key). E.g. I have right command mapped to F20, available to all other apps .
No problem! Thank you for trying it and requesting features!
I added a issue (and comment) for this on the GitHub repo: https://github.com/cjpais/Handy/issues/47
