OPEN BETA Free trial. Local, private. For every Mac.

You're typing
more than ever.

Every AI prompt, every email, every Slack reply — all of it typed. Voice to Mac lets you speak instead. Works everywhere, runs on your Mac, and sends nothing to the cloud.

Faster than typing. The average person speaks at 150 wpm, types at 40.

How it works

One hotkey. Talk. Done.

No setup, no cloud signup, no training your voice. Open the app, pick a hotkey, and start talking anywhere you'd normally type.

Step 01

Hold a key

Pick any modifier — ⌃ Control, ⌥ Option, or Fn. No awkward combos, no clicking menu bars.

Hold ⌃ Control
Step 02

Say what you mean

Speak naturally. Voice to Mac handles filler words, punctuation, and even those weird Whisper hallucinations.

Recording… "hey mom I'll be there around 6"
Step 03

Text appears

Release the key, and your words show up wherever the cursor is. Mail, Messages, Docs, anywhere.

Hey Mom, I'll be there around 6.
Everywhere you type

Works in every app you already use.

Mail, Slack, Messages, Docs, ChatGPT, Notion, LinkedIn, browser forms — if there's a text cursor, Voice to Mac works there.

Q2 Retrospective
The second quarter was defined by a pivot in our go-to-market strategy. We moved from an outbound-first model to a product-led motion, which reshaped how the team prioritized work.

The math

A typical morning of messages, by the numbers.

Five emails, ten Slack replies, three text messages, and a document. Here's what that looks like with and without your voice.

Who it's for

Built for anyone who talks faster than they type.

And these days, that's basically everyone with a Mac.

💼

The busy manager

Email · Slack · Meetings

40 messages before lunch. Voice makes every reply quick — without that "sent from my phone" feeling.

"I clear my inbox on my walk to the coffee shop now."
✍️

The writer

Docs · Essays · Drafts

First drafts flow faster when you talk them out. Edit with the keyboard later.

"I dictate the shape of a piece in 10 minutes, then spend an hour editing."
🤖

The AI power user

ChatGPT · Claude · Gemini

You're writing three paragraphs of context for every prompt. Speak it, don't type it.

"I prompt Claude like I'm talking to a person now. It's so much more natural."
🧑‍🎓

The student

Notes · Essays · Research

Lecture notes, essay drafts, study summaries — all faster than typing, all on-device and private.

"I record my thoughts after every lecture. It's basically a thinking journal."
The AI shift

AI made us
type way more.

A year ago, you wrote a three-word Google search. Now you write three paragraphs to Claude or ChatGPT. Context is the new prompt engineering — and context takes words.

Voice is the obvious fix. You just need one that works reliably, everywhere, without shipping your audio to somebody else's server.

WITH VOICE
~6 minutes — spoken
Privacy

Your voice stays on your Mac.

Most voice apps ship every word you speak to a server. Voice to Mac runs Whisper locally — the same model powering commercial cloud transcription — entirely on Apple Silicon. Nothing leaves your Mac.

🔒

On-device Whisper

Transcription runs on Apple's Metal GPU. No network calls, no latency, no account required.

🎙

Audio never uploaded

Your voice is processed in memory and discarded. We can't hear you because we never do.

🔑

Keys in Keychain

If you add an AI provider later, API keys live in the macOS Keychain — never in config files.

🚫

No telemetry by default

No usage tracking, no behavioral analytics. Opt-in crash reports send stack traces only — never transcripts or audio. Private by default.

Pricing

One payment. Own it forever.

Free while we're in open beta. Claim your lifetime license now — it stays yours forever, no expiry, no conversion to paid.

FAQ

Answers, briefly.

Do I really need to pay anything?

Right now, no — Voice to Mac is free while we're in open beta. Claim a license and it's yours forever. When we exit beta, Voice to Mac becomes a one-time $49.99 purchase. Beta licenses never expire, never convert to paid, and include all future updates.

How is this different from built-in Mac dictation?

Apple's dictation is fine for a quick note but stumbles on punctuation, context, and longer passages. Voice to Mac uses OpenAI's Whisper model — the gold standard for speech recognition — running locally on your Mac with better accuracy, longer recordings, and support for dozens of languages.

Does my audio get sent to anyone?

No. Transcription happens entirely on your Mac using Apple's Metal GPU. Even the optional AI cleanup sends text, never audio — and only if you explicitly turn it on.

What Mac do I need?

macOS 13 or later, with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer). Whisper needs Metal for real-time performance.

I'm a developer — does it work in Cursor / VS Code / Xcode?

Yes, and we built it specifically for that. See the developer page →

Can I use it in another language?

Yes — dozens of languages out of the box, including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Portuguese, Russian, and more. You can switch languages per-app or per-hotkey.
