Seems nice! I have been using Handy https://handy.computer/ for a while and I am happy with it (using Parakeet), this seems quite similar in terms of features, except that is uses Apple's APIs.

Big fan of Handy as well. I often mix languages (german/english) and Apple onboard dictation is not working well in these cases. Having the ability to switch models so far has proven to be helpful. I guess Handy should implement the new native Apple APIs though.
