Vays turns your voice into polished text, summaries, and action items — all running entirely on your Mac. No cloud upload, no account, no subscription. Your voice never leaves your device.
WHAT VAYS DOES
• Record voice memos directly on your Mac
• Transcribe with Apple's on-device speech recognition or WhisperKit models
• Real time translations for OBS livestreaming (PL - > ENG)
• Interactive presenter mode, never forget your most important thoughts when presenting!
• Polish raw transcripts into clean, readable text
• Summarize long recordings into the parts that matter
• Extract tasks, decisions, and follow-ups
• Chat with your recordings using a local LLM
100% LOCAL, 100% PRIVATE
Every transcription, every summary, and every AI response is computed on your Mac using Apple Silicon. There is no cloud round-trip. There is no telemetry. There is no account to create. Your memos stay on your machine. Period.
BUILT FOR APPLE SILICON
Vays uses MLX and Metal-optimized models tuned for M-series chips. Transcription is fast. Summaries feel instant. Even large language models run comfortably on an M1 or later.
POWERFUL WHEN YOU NEED IT, QUIET WHEN YOU DON'T
• Quick Tasks: a 30-second recording becomes a structured to-do
• Long recordings: meetings and interviews get transcribed, summarized, and indexed
• Chat with a memo: ask questions about what was said
• Calendar integration: surface what's relevant today
• Search your entire voice archive as if it were text
