Offline mode
The most requested feature since launch. Cue 1.2 includes a local Whisper model that runs entirely on your Mac.
How it works
- Download a 150MB model once (Settings → Offline Model)
- Cue automatically switches to offline mode when there's no internet
- Or force offline mode from the menu bar for maximum privacy
Performance
On M1 and later, offline transcription runs at near-real-time speed. On Intel Macs, there's a slight delay but accuracy stays high.
What stays the same
- Same keyboard shortcut (⌥ + Space)
- Same auto-corrections
- Same app compatibility
- Audio is still never stored — online or offline
Other fixes
- Fixed rare crash when switching audio inputs mid-dictation
- Improved Slack integration — handles thread replies correctly
- Added a "What's New" badge in the menu bar for updates
