Mac app adds live subtitles, translation, AI minutes to any call

wquguru/cicada: preview

What is cicada?

Cicada runs on macOS and captures system audio to produce bilingual subtitles, real-time translation, and structured meeting notes. It works with Zoom, Teams, YouTube and other streams without sending audio to the cloud.

Who it is for

Anyone who spends time in online meetings or watches live streams can get instant captions, AI-generated summaries, and even speak translated audio back into the call.

How to try it

Download the latest release from GitHub and drag the app into /Applications.
