- What it is
- The home page of Muesli, a free, open-source dictation and meeting transcription app for Apple Silicon Macs. It says it works without internet after install and that it pastes dictated text into the app the user is already using.
- How much weight it carries
- The maker's own page, read in October 2026. Parts of the page, such as the release list and social posts, are loaded from other sites and are not used here. The offline claim holds once a speech model is installed, as the privacy policy also says.
