Speakmac

The offline dictation macOS should have had

Speakmac turns your voice into text on your Mac—instantly, privately, and without draining your CPU. Fully offline. No subscriptions.

Hey PH community, I’m Kiran — builder of Speakmac.

I’ve used most of the offline dictation apps out there. They're capable, but often cluttered with too many options you simply don't need.

Why I built Speakmac?
I just wanted something simpler and a lot more polished — an app that feels like the default dictation macOS should have had.

Speakmac is deliberately minimal and deliberately beautiful. No model picker, no features you don’t need — I will make sure I use the best models for turning your voice into text.

- Easy setup
- Press the shortcut → talk naturally → perfectly punctuated and capitalized text appears wherever your cursor is
- Works everywhere: Notes, Slack, Notion, code editors, emails… you name it
- On-device processing by default (nothing leaves your Mac)

Buy once, use forever

I probably spent way too much time making the hotkey animation, the recording indicator, and the way text flows in feel exactly right. The result is something that blends into macOS so well that after a day you forget it’s not built-in. I use this every day to build Speakmac itself and I feel good every time I press the hotkey.

Would mean the world if you gave it a try and told me what you think :)
