Get Started with LocalFlow

Three simple steps to voice-powered productivity. No local servers required — just the agent and your Groq API key.

Install the Agent

LocalFlow runs as a lightweight desktop agent that listens for global hotkeys. Install it with a single command.

Or download the script manually from the download page.

Get Your Groq API Key

LocalFlow uses Groq for fast, high-quality transcription. Sign up for a free Groq account and grab your API key.

Open Groq Console

Create a free account at console.groq.com
Navigate to API Keys and create a new key
Copy the key — you'll paste it on first run

Why BYOK?Groq charges ~$0.11/hour of audio. We can't afford to host transcription for all users, so you bring your own key. Your key is never stored on our servers — it travels with each request and is used only to call Groq on your behalf.

Run & Configure

Start the agent. On first run, it will prompt you for your Groq API key and save it to ~/.localflow/config.json.

localflow-agent

The agent starts and listens for your hotkey (default: Alt+L)
On first run, paste your Groq API key when prompted
Hold Alt+L to record, release to transcribe and paste

Alternative: Environment Variable

You can also set GROQ_API_KEY as an environment variable instead of using the interactive prompt.
