Smart open-source dictation that sounds like you, not AI.
A minimalist, open-source voice input app for macOS. It listens locally, uses AI to refine your words, and preserves your natural voice. You can bring your own API key and use it for free, or subscribe to our cloud service for $6.99/month.
I’m Daniel, the maker of Stet, exciting to my first launch !
Most voice input apps are trying to do too much. They want to translate for you, rewrite your tone in different apps, and behave like a full AI assistant.
That was not what I wanted.
I just wanted an affordable simple voice input tool for macOS that could clean up my words a little, stay out of the way, and still sound like me. So I built Stet.
“Stet” is an editing term that means “let it stand.” That is the whole idea behind the product: your words, just cleaner.
Stet is open source, minimalist, and built for people who want better dictation without all the extra AI clutter.
If you already use an AI provider like OpenAI or Groq, you can bring your own API key and use Stet for free. If you do not want to set that up, you can use the hosted version for $6.99/month.
If you use the hosted option, your audio goes through my Supabase backend. I plan to open-source that part too, and it is designed for zero data retention.
I’m an indie developer, so I cannot offer an unlimited free tier, but registered users do get a free trial with 10,000 words.
If this sounds useful, I’d really appreciate a star on GitHub. And if you want to contribute, a PR would be even better.
Would love your feedback.
