Hitoku Draft – Context aware local assistant
Hi guys.I have been working on Hitoku Draft, an open-source, voice-first AI assistant that runs entirely locally. I post...

Our Take
Hitoku Draft is the voice-first AI assistant that runs 100 percent locally—no cloud, no account, no telemetry, no subscriptions. You press a hotkey, you speak naturally, and text appears in any app on your Mac. Gmail, Slack, VS Code, Notes, Notion, Messages, Safari, literally anything with a text field. It works fully offline in 100+ languages and it transcribes audio and video files too. Drop in a recording, get clean text, refine it with your voice. That's it. That's the whole product. And it's beautiful.
Here's the thing: every other AI writing tool ships your voice to the cloud, stores it on someone else's server, and charges you $20–$30 a month for the privilege. Hitoku Draft does the opposite. It runs on your Mac's Neural Engine and GPU in parallel—Apple Silicon inference, locally. Your data never leaves your machine. No account required. One-time purchase. $5 to lock in forever, price goes up as the app grows. That's the early supporter pricing and it's still live.
The secret sauce is context-awareness. Hitoku Draft reads your screen, your documents, and your active app to understand what you're working on. Ask about a PDF, reply to an email, create a calendar event—all by voice. It understands context the way a human assistant would. This is what privacy-first AI looks like when someone actually builds it right. No buzzwords, no VC pitch, just a Mac app that works and doesn't spy on you.
