Tap ⌘ twice
A small recorder appears at your cursor. No window stealing focus, no menu bar dance. Just a quiet indicator that the mic is hot.

01How it works
Three keystrokes between
thought and text.
Tap
Speak naturally
Whisper turbo runs entirely on your Mac. Background noise, accents, technical jargon, code identifiers — handled. Latency lives below human reaction time.
Tap ⌘ twice again
Your dictation lands at the cursor — fully punctuated, capitalized, and (if Pro) polished by a local LLM. Then it's gone. Nothing to clean up.
02What makes it different
A dictation app for
people who live in the terminal.
Anywhere you type
iTerm, Warp, Xcode, VS Code, Slack, Mail, Notion, Figma comments, password fields, Spotlight. Insertion uses Accessibility, not pasteboard hacks.
Audio never leaves your Mac
WhisperKit and a local Qwen 3.5 4B do the work. Cloud Polish (Pro, opt-in) sends post-transcription text only. We design for not having access.
Context-aware polish
The app reads which app is frontmost. In Terminal it preserves command names. In Mail it warms the tone. In Xcode it keeps camelCase. In Slack it relaxes.
Genius mode
Dictate the gist. Get the polished version. Math is resolved (10 × 2 → 20), filler is dropped, prose is restructured for clarity. Optional, transparent, instant.
Six polish styles
Clean. Professional. Casual. Concise. Email. Bullet points. Genius. Switchable mid-flight via the menu bar — no preference panel acrobatics.
No telemetry, by default
Funnel events are off until you opt in. Nothing about your dictation content is ever sent. Default outbound calls are model downloads from Hugging Face.

04Privacy posture
Designed so we can't
see your work.
Local-only by design
Captured to a temp file, transcribed by WhisperKit, deleted. Never leaves the device. We don't have an audio endpoint to receive it.
Not collected, ever
Explicit non-collection clause covering BIPA (Illinois), CUBI (Texas), MyHealthMyData (WA), POST (NYC), CCPA-CPRA SPI.
Off by default
Opt-in funnel events (event names + plan/channel only). Never transcript content. Disable any time in preferences.
Text only · Pro · opt-in
Sends post-transcription text (no audio) to our authenticated proxy → OpenAI for the polish step you requested. Switch off any time.
05Common questions
Yes, it works in your editor.
And in Spotlight. And in vim.
- Does my voice ever get uploaded?
- No. WhisperKit (or, as a fallback, Apple Speech with
requiresOnDeviceRecognition=true) transcribes locally. The temp audio file is deleted after each dictation. We don't operate a voice-receiving endpoint. - What about cloud polish?
- Off by default. When you turn it on (Pro), only the post-transcription text is sent to our proxy and forwarded to OpenAI for grammar polish. Disable in settings any time.
- App Store or direct?
- Both. App Store gets you Apple's payment method, automatic 7-/14-day free trial, and Apple's privacy report. Direct (Stripe) gets you the same app, our 14-day money-back, and recovery-key device transfer.
- macOS version?
- macOS 13 (Ventura) and later. Apple Silicon recommended for fastest local transcription. Intel Macs work but inference is slower.
