Our Take

Honestly, if you've ever sent a client call to a cloud transcription service and felt vaguely wrong about it, Thoth gets it. It's a native macOS app that runs Whisper and LLMs entirely on your M-series chip via Core Audio — no weird virtual audio drivers like BlackHole, no data leaving your machine, ever. Pro license is 99€/89$ one-time which is actually fair since you're not renting a subscription. For Mac users handling sensitive business conversations who want transcription without the privacy tradeoff, this is the move.

A 100% native macOS transcriber that runs Whisper and LLMs entirely on-device for absolute privacy. Records Zoom/Teams calls directly using Core Audio without needing virtual audio drivers.
