UltraVox is free and open source. An optional Pro license ($25, one time) supports development and unlocks:
Buy a license or start a 14-day trial in Settings → Pro.
UltraVox-macos-arm64.pkg (installer) or UltraVox-macos-arm64.zip from the latest release.UltraVox.app to /Applications. Releases are signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple..sha256 file in one folder and run shasum -a 256 -c UltraVox-macos-arm64.pkg.sha256.Files named UltraVox-Light-* and UltraVox-Pro-* are the same build under older names, kept so existing installs can update. You only need the plain UltraVox-macos-arm64 files.
On first launch, grant only what your workflow needs:
Then pick a model, set a shortcut in Settings → Shortcut, and start talking.
retex command read-only on folders you choose. Transcripts are never sent to Retex.UltraVox checks for a new version at launch and every four hours, and shows an Update button when one is available. Settings → Updates → Automatically update installs new versions while the app is idle, never during a recording. Every download is checked against its SHA-256 checksum and Apple code signature before it is installed. If a check fails, your installed version is left untouched.
The open-source build does not include the Pro module. You need Node.js 22, pnpm 10, Rust, CMake, libomp and the Xcode Command Line Tools.
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/michael-berardi/ultravox.git
cd ultravox
brew install cmake libomp rust node@22
export PATH="$(brew --prefix node@22)/bin:$PATH"
npm install --global [email protected]
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm desktop:check
cargo test --workspace
pnpm test:all
pnpm --filter ultravox-desktop tauri build --no-default-features --features custom-protocol
A local build is ad-hoc signed, so macOS treats it as a different app from the official release and asks for permissions again. Do not install it over /Applications/UltraVox.app.
Issues and focused pull requests are welcome. See CONTRIBUTING.md, and report security problems privately as described in SECURITY.md. Please do not include recordings, transcripts, credentials or personal system details in issues.
