My competitor charges more and at the same time the data is being sent to someone else's servers.
Is it just the models I’m paying for, or an app too?
I’ve been using anomalyco/HEX and MacParakeet… which are free and work great for my uses…
Vibe-coded website.
Both bundles contain quantized versions of the CohereLabs/cohere-transcribe-03-2026 model. The model in JEXXA.dmg is MLX int8 g64 affine quantized. JEXXA-Small.dmg has the same model but MLX int4 g32 affine quantized. There's also an int8 quantized WeSpeaker ECAPA-TDNN speaker-verification ONNX encoder. No acknowledgments for both models (doesn't the Apache 2.0 license require it? WeSpeaker's cc-by-4.0 license certainly does). Both bundles also contain full-blown Python 3.12.8 runtimes with about a dozen packages installed.
Apps are unsandboxed menubar apps and also contain PostHog analytics and Supabase auth. So, I wouldn't run it on any of my machines.
A few engineering hygiene issues like a .pytest_cache directory, Python code, .DS_Store files, etc.
Given the above, I suspect the "I am training better models." is just marketing speak.

It's just a static file on your own computer that's burning your own CPU cycles. Sorry, but it just feels a bit greedy to me.
