Source Code and Contributing
Where the code lives, what the license allows, and how to help.
EnviousWispr is a free dictation app for macOS, and the entire application is open source under the GPLv3 license. You can inspect every part of the codebase at github.com/saurabhav88/EnviousWispr and check every privacy claim on this site against the code that runs on your Mac.
The license
EnviousWispr is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v3. That license grants specific rights and sets clear boundaries for use and distribution.
- Use freely. You are free to use, study, change, and share the software, including for commercial purposes.
- Share modifications. If you distribute a modified version of EnviousWispr, that version has to be open source under the same license terms.
- Trademarks are excluded. The EnviousWispr name and logo belong to Envious Labs LLC and are not covered by the open source license.
Helping out
Contributions make the project more stable and easier to trust. There are three ways to take part.
- Report bugs and request features. Open an issue on GitHub Issues to report unexpected behaviour or suggest something new.
- Submit code. Send a pull request with a bug fix or an improvement.
- Audit the code. Read the source and report any gap between what the documentation claims and what the app actually does.
Building it yourself
You can compile the application from source on your own machine. Building EnviousWispr needs a Mac with Apple Silicon and Xcode installed. The current compilation steps are kept up to date in the repository README.
