Download
Get Verenu.
Free, open source. You will need an API key from Groq, OpenAI, Google, or AssemblyAI for transcription, or use a local model instead. AssemblyAI is transcription-only, so cleanup still uses a separate provider.
You're on Linux. Verenu downloads are currently supported on Windows and macOS only.

Before first launch
The app itself does not proxy your dictation through a shared Verenu backend. Add your own provider key in Settings, then pick separate models for transcription and cleanup.

Past releases, installers, and the full codebase live on GitHub as Verenu/Verenu. Follow the README if you want to build it yourself.
