The upstream app is macOS-only (Swift/SwiftUI, CoreML/WhisperKit) and can't run on Linux or in a container. This adds a native host tool under linux/ that reproduces the workflow: focus any text field, press a hotkey, speak, and the optionally-rewritten text is typed into that field. - Engine: pynput global hotkeys → mic record → local faster-whisper → optional OpenAI-compatible rewrite → xdotool typing into the focused window - Frontends: system tray (AppIndicator, default), tkinter control panel, and headless modes - Config-driven workflows in ~/.config/blitztext/config.toml with per-workflow prompt/model/temperature overrides - Packaging: install.sh, requirements.txt, systemd user unit - Targets X11; local transcription runs CPU int8 on this arm64 host See linux/CHANGELOG.md and linux/README.md for details.

The model is loaded once and reused. On this arm64 host the CTranslate2 wheel is

CPU-only, so device="auto" attempts CUDA and falls back to CPU automatically.
