100% local private AI for text-to-speech & meeting notes
100% private on-device voice models for speech-to-text and meeting transcription on macOS. No cloud APIs, no data leaves your machine without your explicit permission.
I built Ghost Pepper to be 100% private and run on local Huggingface models. I open-sourced it to get help from the community, little did I know Jesse Vincent, creator of Claude Superpowers would end up contributing more code than I (read: my Claude) did. I called it Ghost Pepper because all models run locally, no private data leaves your computer. And it's spicy to offer it open source.
