After download

A small first-run checklist.

1

Open the DMG

Drag Diktator! into Applications and launch it from there.

2

Allow Microphone

Microphone lets Diktator! record your voice after you start dictation.

3

Allow Input Monitoring

Input Monitoring is used for the Right Command hotkey. If Diktator! is not listed automatically, click + and select /Applications/Diktator.app.

4

Allow Accessibility

Accessibility lets Diktator! place or paste the transcript into the active writing app.

Local model, local files.

The app downloads the recommended local AI model only after explicit consent. It stays on your Mac.

Built for direct Mac distribution.

Diktator! Lite 0.2.8 is a Developer ID signed, notarized, and stapled DMG for Apple Silicon Macs. It does not install Homebrew. If a compatible Homebrew/whisper engine is already present, Diktator! may use it; otherwise it uses the bundled speech engine.
