Your keyboard
is jealous.

Dict lives in your menu bar. Hit ⌥ Space, talk, and clean text appears wherever your cursor is. Voice snippets, voice commands, LLM cleanup — all optional. All local.

macOS Sonoma or later. Apple Silicon & Intel.

Listening...

Your mouth

"ok so like um I need to schedule a meeting with the uh design team for like next tuesday at 2pm and also uh remind me to send the mockups before that I guess"

What adults read

Schedule a meeting with the design team for next Tuesday at 2pm. Send mockups beforehand.

Works wherever you can type (so... everywhere)

The boring features section

You know the drill. Here's where we list stuff to make you feel good about downloading.

AI-Powered (buzzword ✓)

LLM makes you sound smart

Dial from 1 (fix my commas) to 5 (rewrite this like I went to Oxford). Your rambling becomes poetry. Or at least coherent sentences.

🦙 Ollama LM Studio OpenAI Anthropic

Paranoid mode

NSA can't hear you

Everything stays on your Mac. We're too lazy to build servers, and frankly, we don't care what you're mumbling about.

No cloud (we're broke)
No account (who has time)
No telemetry (pinky promise)

Voice Snippets

Lazy person's paradise

Say "my email" and boom — full address appears. Because typing 15 characters is exhausting.

"my email"

→ victor@company.com

Voice Commands

Speak and obey

Map words to keyboard shortcuts. Your Mac does what you say. Finally.

"screenshot this mess"

⌘⇧3

Speech Engines

Pick your poison

Apple Speech for the "it just works" crowd. Whisper for the privacy nerds. We don't judge.

Apple 🤫 Whisper

Flow Mode

Send it (literally)

Auto-presses Enter after paste. For when pressing one extra key feels like cardio.

Code Mode

Nerd-approved

camelCase stays camelCase. snake_case stays snake_case. Your PR won't get rejected because of us.

Two keys. That's it.

Works everywhere. Even in that electron app you're ashamed to use.

How it works

Brace yourself for the complexity.

1

Press the hotkey

Hit ⌥ Space from anywhere. A little waveform shows up. Dict is listening.

2

Talk

Say whatever. Be incoherent. Use filler words. Speak in Portuguese mid-sentence if you want. We won't judge.

3

Text appears

Clean text lands where your cursor was. That's literally it. No step four.

Privacy

We don't want your data

Seriously. There's no server. No analytics. No account. No telemetry. Dict can run fully offline because we couldn't be bothered to build a backend.

  • On-device Apple Speech recognition
  • Local Whisper via whisper.cpp
  • Works with Ollama & LM Studio
  • No account, no sign-up, no nothing

Just download it

It's free and your fingers will thank you. Or don't download it. We're not your boss.
