What it is

Screenshot of the Yaps homepage
yaps.ai, as visitors see it

Yaps is a private AI toolkit that processes content locally on your device rather than uploading to the cloud. The app provides on-device dictation into any app with live cleanup, meeting recording and transcription with speaker labels, handwriting recognition, read-aloud for documents in 31 languages, image generation from text descriptions, chat features to ask questions about your notes, and on-device translation of text and files.

Available on Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, iPhone, and iPad, Yaps works offline once local models are installed. The core philosophy prioritizes privacy and thoughtful design, with the team believing that powerful AI should not require uploading personal data to the cloud. Yaps is built by a small, focused team that releases features when ready rather than meeting arbitrary deadlines.

What it is built with

  • On-device speech-to-text dictation into any app with live cleanup
  • Meeting recording and transcription with speaker labels and editable notes
  • Handwriting recognition to convert handwritten pages into typed, searchable notes
  • Read-aloud for documents, ebooks and articles in 31 languages with audio export
  • On-device image generation from text descriptions
  • Chat with your notes for plain-language questions with cited answers
  • On-device translation of notes, text and subtitle files
  • Works offline once local models are installed
  • Automatic video captioning exported as SRT format
  • Works system-wide in text fields across desktop apps and as keyboard on Android

Core speech processing is designed to run locally on your device. Signing in, billing, and sync use an encrypted connection when you are online.
