Superwhisper

Superwhisper runs Whisper-class speech models on your own device, so dictation is fast, works offline and keeps your voice private — no cloud round-trip. It types into any app, supports custom vocabularies and modes, and has a genuinely usable free tier. For most people leaving Wispr Flow, it's the closest match with better privacy.

It's the most direct Wispr Flow replacement on Mac: system-wide dictation, on-device processing for privacy and offline use, and a fair one-time or subscription price instead of subscription-only.
