Whytap, an open-source productivity toolkit that runs in the Mac's notch, has been released under the MIT license for macOS 14.2 or newer on Apple Silicon and Intel, with voice dictation, an AI agent, meeting notes and a secrets vault for coding agents. The app requires users to bring their own API keys for Soniox, Deepgram, ElevenLabs, OpenRouter, OpenAI or Anthropic, or an OpenAI-compatible server, with keys stored in the macOS Keychain and no Whytap account, backend or telemetry. Building from source requires Xcode 26 or newer with Swift 6.
