General settings

The General panel covers settings that don't fit a more specific feature.

Language

Hyprcore supports the locale of your transcript and the locale of the UI separately:

  • UI language. The language Hyprcore's interface is in. Auto-detected from your macOS locale by default. Change in Settings → General → UI language.

  • Transcript language. Set per-model. Whisper models support 90+ languages and you can pick the default in Settings → Models → Speech model → Language. Parakeet V3 auto-detects, so there's nothing to set.

Appearance

  • Theme. Light, Dark, or System (follow macOS).

  • Editor font. Choose a font for the page editor. Sans-serif by default; switch to serif for a more "document" feel.

  • Compact mode. Tighter spacing in the sidebar—useful on smaller screens.

Startup behavior

  • Launch on login. Hyprcore starts when you log into macOS.

  • Start hidden. Don't show the main window on launch—only the tray icon. Useful if you mostly use Hyprcore via shortcuts.

  • Don't show tray icon. Hides the menu bar icon entirely. Pair with --start-hidden for a minimal footprint.

You can also pass these as CLI flags:

hyprcore --start-hidden --no-tray

System tray

  • Tray click action. What happens when you click the tray icon: open main window, toggle dictation, or open a quick menu.

  • Show recording badge. Color the tray icon while recording so you can see at a glance.

Notifications

  • Native notifications on transcription complete. Get a system notification when a long meeting finishes processing.

  • Sound on start/stop. Play a short tone when dictation/meeting starts and stops. Useful as a confirmation when you're using shortcuts and can't see the screen.

Reset

Settings → General → Reset all settings clears your settings to defaults. Your meetings, notes, and dictation history are not deleted—only configuration. Used most often when troubleshooting weird behavior.

If you want a clean slate, quit Hyprcore and delete the entire app data directory:

rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/ai.hyprcore.desktop/
