Ghost Pepper is a macOS menu bar app that provides 100% on-device speech-to-text and meeting transcription using local models like WhisperKit and Qwen LLMs. It's interesting because it offers complete privacy by running all AI inference locally on Apple Silicon, filling a gap for users who need transcription without cloud dependencies.

Target audience: macos users, privacy-conscious professionals, developers, remote workers
