Press a hotkey, speak, and your words appear wherever your cursor is.
No cloud, no account, no subscription — just a 740 KB app powered by Whisper.
⌥ + Space starts recording. A floating pill appears.
Say whatever you want transcribed. Whisper handles the rest.
Press the hotkey again. Your words are pasted right where you left off.
All transcription happens on-device via whisper.cpp. Your voice data never leaves your machine.
740 KB app, menu bar only, no dock icon. Near-zero idle resource usage.
VS Code, Safari, Slack, Notes, Terminal — if you can type in it, you can speak into it.
Saves your clipboard before pasting and restores it after. Never lose what you copied.
The recording indicator floats above your work without stealing focus.
