Amical is an open-source, local-first AI dictation and note-taking app for macOS, Windows, and Android (with an iOS beta) that runs entirely on-device. It pairs OpenAI's Whisper for speech-to-text with local LLMs served through Ollama, turning spoken audio into clean, formatted text without sending anything to the cloud. The app detects which application is active and adapts its output accordingly, so dictating into an email, a Discord chat, an IDE, or a note reads naturally instead of like a raw transcript. Smart voice notes that produce summaries and structured tasks are still listed as in progress on the roadmap, alongside planned MCP integration and real-time meeting transcription, while hotkeys, voice macros, and custom workflows are already supported. It is built with Electron, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Shadcn, and ships via a Homebrew cask, direct macOS/Windows downloads, and Google Play. The project markets itself as privacy-first: it works fully offline and lets users set up local models with a single click inside the app.
