Don't type.Just speak.
Voice-to-text that lives in a hotkey. Press it anywhere, speak, and clean text appears at your cursor — with cleanup, snippets, and your choice of model.

Subject: Project update
Hope your week is off to a good start. I was talking to Cheyenne earlier, but the reception was really bad — I think they're going to handle the first part of the project, but I'm not totally sure.
I also told the team the new timeline should be ready by Friday, although it might slip. Can you check in with them and see if the notes from yesterday's meeting were sent out?

Speak anywhere you type
Hit the hotkey, speak, and clean text lands at your cursor — no integration, no API. If it accepts text, the Recorder writes into it.
And thousands more — dictation pastes as keystrokes into the focused field.
Faster than typing. Cleaner than talking.
Global hotkey
Hold, tap, or double-tap to dictate. Works in any text field, across any app, with smoother behavior and fewer accidental triggers.
Dictation Bar and Notch
A compact dictation bar and a notch-mounted UI show live transcription without getting in your way. Both stay reliable on long sessions.
Cleanup on the fly
Optional cleanup removes fillers, tidies punctuation, and breaks paragraphs naturally. Give it extra instructions to match your voice.
Snippets mode
Capture quick dictation clips into a snippets library you can browse, copy, and reuse. Perfect for the phrases you repeat all day.
Pick your model
Apple Foundation, local Whisper, Parakeet, Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, or BuildBetter — use whichever cleaner and transcriber you prefer.
Auto-paste
Finish speaking and your text lands at the cursor. Clear guidance shows up when permissions or the app path prevent auto-paste.
Multilingual
Use the transcription engine that fits your language. The app flags English-only Whisper models so you pick a compatible multilingual one.
Local-first privacy
Run entirely offline if you want. Cloud providers are opt-in and scoped to the ones you choose.
Pick your transcription and cleanup
Whisper, Parakeet, Apple Intelligence, Groq, Deepgram, BuildBetter — or your own cleaner running on OpenAI, Anthropic, or Ollama.
Apple Intelligence
On-device foundation models on macOS 26+. Zero setup, zero network.
whisper.cpp
Runs Whisper natively on your Mac. Pick a managed model, or drop your own .bin file — any Whisper-compatible model works.
llama.cpp
Drop any GGUF file (Llama, Qwen, Mistral, Phi, Gemma, DeepSeek — whatever you want) and run local chat and cleanup without a server.
Parakeet
NVIDIA's fast on-device transcription engine. Models download and manage from inside the app.
Ollama
Point the Recorder at your local Ollama server (OpenAI-compatible) and use any model you’ve pulled — Llama, Qwen, Mistral, DeepSeek, and more.
LM Studio
Point at your LM Studio OpenAI-compatible server for private local inference with a GUI model manager.
OpenAI
Bring your own key for GPT-4.1, GPT-5, and more via your own account.
Anthropic
BYO key for Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Opus. Top-tier summaries and chat.
Groq
Ultra-fast inference. BYO key for live transcription and chat.
Deepgram
Low-latency cloud transcription with strong multi-speaker accuracy.
BuildBetter
Sign in to use BuildBetter-hosted AI across transcription, chat, and cleanup.
BYO cloud keys route traffic from your Mac directly to the provider — BuildBetter is never in the path. For local models, drop a .bin (whisper.cpp) or .gguf (llama.cpp) file and it just works.
