NotchLive WhisperKit Core ML bundles
This repository provides the verified speech-model bundles used by NotchLive, a private, local-first speech workspace for Mac.
NotchLive normally downloads these files automatically. Manual downloads are intended for troubleshooting, verification, and distribution mirroring.

What is inside each bundle
Each .notchlivemodel archive contains:
- pinned Core ML model files;
- matching tokenizer files;
- upstream revision identifiers;
- per-file SHA-256 hashes;
- the upstream OpenAI and Argmax license notices.
NotchLive verifies the archive checksum and every payload file before installation.
Intended use
These bundles are packaged for local speech recognition in NotchLive on macOS. After a model has been downloaded and installed, speech processing runs on the Mac. The initial model download still connects to the distribution host.
Model output can contain transcription errors, especially with unclear audio, overlapping speakers, unusual names, or unsupported language combinations. Users should review important transcripts before relying on them.
Provenance and licenses
NotchLive did not train these models and does not claim ownership of them:
- Whisper is developed by OpenAI and distributed under the MIT License.
- The Core ML conversions are provided by Argmax for WhisperKit and distributed under the MIT License.
The corresponding license notices are preserved inside every bundle.
Distribution mirrors
- Hugging Face:
notchlive/whisperkit-coreml - ModelScope:

The published .notchlivemodel artifacts are intended to remain byte-identical across both services.
