Record your thoughts, get structured text. No cloud uploads, no subscriptions required to start.

100% on-device

Whisper AI runs locally on your Mac. Your voice data never touches a server. Audio is deleted after transcription.

AI-powered polish

Removes filler words, fixes grammar, and structures your speech into clean bullet points or paragraphs.

Auto-copy to clipboard

Polished text is instantly copied. Just paste into any app: emails, docs, Slack, anywhere.

Edit with AI

Select any text and refine it further: translate, rewrite, adjust tone. Voice or text instructions.

Your data stays yours

Audio is processed and deleted locally. Only the transcribed text is sent to AI for polishing (via encrypted API). No accounts, no tracking, no telemetry.
