Resonant Community Edition
The local core
is open source.
Hold a hotkey, speak, and paste clean text into the app in front of you. The macOS client behind that local workflow is now available to inspect, build, change, and share under the MIT License.

Use it like source code,
because it is.
Use it for yourself, adapt it for your team, redistribute a fork, or sell a product built from the code. The MIT License permits each of those uses when you preserve the copyright and license notice.
Resonant's dependencies and downloaded speech models keep their own terms. The repository documents those boundaries so you can make an informed choice before distributing a build.
Use it
Build the Community Edition for your own Apple Silicon Mac and run local dictation without a Resonant account or hosted backend.
Change it
Adapt the source for personal or commercial work, add local integrations, or redistribute a fork under the MIT License.
Contribute
Open an issue, improve the setup guide, fix a bug, or send a pull request that makes the local client better for everyone.
What you can build today
Start with working local dictation.
The Community Edition remains useful without Resonant-operated infrastructure. Core speech recognition and deterministic text cleanup run on the Mac.
A clear boundary
The source is open. Model terms still matter.
MIT covers the Resonant source code. Third-party libraries and downloaded speech-model weights retain their own licenses. The Community Edition keeps models with unresolved redistribution terms out of its default picker and documents the remaining model notices.
