Hitoku brings on-device voice editing to Mac

On-device voice editing is a quietly compelling niche — privacy-first, low-latency, and increasingly viable as Apple Silicon makes local inference fast enough to be practical.

• –Runs speech transcription and AI editing in parallel on Neural Engine + GPU, keeping latency competitive with cloud tools
• –Works universally across macOS apps — Mail, Slack, VS Code, browsers — without switching context
• –$14.99 one-time vs. $20-30/month for cloud competitors is a sharp pricing wedge for privacy-conscious users
• –Limited to Apple Silicon; no Windows or Linux path, which keeps the target market narrow but well-defined
• –Early-stage: score of 1 on Reddit with zero comments — product is pre-traction and seeking early feedback
