Release — your speech is transcribed by Whisper in seconds
AI fixes typos and spacing, then types it straight into the app you're using
Why Whisper
Hold to Talk
Hold Fn to record, release to stop — like a walkie-talkie. Or switch to toggle mode (double-tap to start, single tap to stop). Rebind to any key you like.
Fast with Groq
Transcription runs on whisper-large-v3-turbo via Groq — blazing fast, with a generous free tier. One API key powers everything.
AI Correction
Every transcript is polished by an LLM automatically — typos fixed, spacing cleaned, sentences smoothed. Works in English, Thai, and more.
Lives in the Menu Bar
No cluttered windows, no Dock icon — a quiet menu-bar app that's always ready and works with every app on your Mac.
Secure & Notarized
Signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple — double-click to install, no security warnings. Your API key never leaves your machine.
Featherweight
Pure Swift, ~3MB installer. No Electron, no heavy background processes weighing your Mac down.
