Show HN: Kekoso – On-device dictation and transcription for macOS

Kekoso delivers on-device speech-to-text for macOS 14.4+ on Apple silicon, costing a one-time $29 purchase with a 7-day trial. It transcribes dictation, audio or video files, YouTube links, and call recordings locally, producing timestamped TXT, SRT, or VTT files without uploading data. The tool integrates with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Codex via a local MCP server, allowing agents to transcribe without API keys or per-minute billing.
