fair, it isn't fully native. The dictation helper is the only native piece, the UI is a local web page. That was a deliberate tradeoff to get Qwen3-ASR running through MLX on macOS 14+ rather than wait on a Swift port. Better Voice looks good. Worth noting it's closed source and needs macOS 26, where mine is Apache-2.0 and runs on 14. Different bets.
