Decision brief
TypeNo is a privacy-focused voice input application tailored for macOS users, emphasizing local processing of audio inputs and built with Swift under the GPL-3.0 license.
Good fit when
- When you need to use speech-to-text functionality while valuing your privacy as all its operations are locally performed.
- If you require a menu-bar app solution for voice input suited specifically for macOS environments.
Avoid when
- In cases where the application requires internet access for server-side processing of voice commands, as TypeNo operates entirely offline with local speech recognition.
- When development or usage is planned on platforms other than macOS since the app is not compatible or tested outside this ecosystem.

Install the speech engine
TypeNo uses coli for local speech recognition.
Prerequisites:
- Node.js (LTS recommended — install directly from nodejs.org for best compatibility)
- ffmpeg — required for audio conversion:
brew install ffmpeg
npm install -g @marswave/coli
This installs the coli CLI itself, but it does not pre-download the speech model.
If Coli is missing, TypeNo will show an in-app setup prompt with the install command.
Node 24+: If you get a
sherpa-onnx-nodeerror, build from source:npm install -g @marswave/coli --build-from-source
