<p>Compared Wispr Flow which is voice first, this feels more like a quiet typing companion than a dictation replacement. Different use case, similar "get out of our way" philosophy though. </p>

<p>The per-app opt-in for terminals and code editors is the detail I would actually use, since most autocomplete is all-or-nothing. Two things on the local model: roughly what size is it and what is the RAM/battery cost of keeping it resident, and in code-editor mode does it parse the buffer as code (syntax-aware) or just treat surrounding text as plain context? Trying to gauge whether it suggests something useful mid-function or only autocompletes prose.</p>

<p>"Insights" that stay on your Mac... so how do I actually see them, carrier pigeon? </p>
