Smalt is a Mac app for voice dictation, meeting notes, and live answers, with a focus on talking to Claude Code hands-free. It uses on-device speech recognition (Parakeet v3) for privacy and integrates with Claude via a local MCP server, but the repository only hosts release files, and the project is closed-source with a commercial license.

Target audience: Mac-based developers, especially those using Claude Code or AI agents
