🎙️ Smart voice input for Mac that captures thoughts as fast as you think them. Works in every app with custom shortcuts, local Whisper models, and your own API keys. ⚡️ Replace typing, boost productivity instantly.
I'm Vadim, the solo developer behind Spokenly. As someone who thinks faster than I type, I was constantly frustrated by the mental context switching. Whether responding to emails, messaging in Slack and Discord, or writing AI prompts, I wanted to just speak and have my words appear instantly, anywhere on my Mac.
✨ What makes Spokenly special: • Works universally - In any app, any text field, just speak • Zero friction - One hotkey and you're talking • Your choice of privacy - Local processing or API (you decide) • AI formatting - Transform rambling thoughts into polished text • Agent mode - Control your Mac with voice commands
It has spoken a lot about my issues with pain in my hands and fingers. I literally use this from time to time whenever I do prompting with vibe coding, as well as creating workflows and prompts for any event. This is a really good tool if you're trying to help yourself much faster. It's great when you're doing a lot of typing.
Love how seamless and simple this is for local speech-to-text. As long as I enunciate clearly, it covers every single use case that I have and works without issues. So far, I estimate I have spoken a good 20 to 30 thousand words with Spokenly. Two thumbs up.
I have been into VoiceAI space long enough to confidently say that Spokenly has the BEST interface among every STT app out there. The finesse is just 👏
I tried a lot of my dictation apps before I installed Spokenly. It was pretty clear the moment I launched it, “Yeah, this is the one!” Vadim is a skilled developer with an incredible eye for UI design. He's also just a cool guy who's very kind, and I've enjoyed exchanging emails with him. He's always receptive to my ideas, and I'm always surprised when make a small suggestion and it'll be included in the app the next day. It has been like having my own personal developer, building exactly the app I want. Good luck Vadim, wishing you the best!
Congrats! Love the idea. Can we speak in one language and it translates automatically in another?
Great app@valdomar - what's the difference between you and Willow?
I tried out Superwhisper, coded my own and also tried to find another alternative until i read about Spokenly on reddit. It is amazing. I am using it with groq - super cheap + super fast. I switched from Superwhisper bc it only uses 40mb of ram on my mac. keep up the good work and pls keep it free :)
This is a great application, probably the best one available. It offers high quality and is useful for everyday use. Wishing you a lot of luck—keep going, man!
I can’t speak highly enough of this app and its developer. Vadim is exceptionally kind and generous, dedicating himself tirelessly to continually improve the product with remarkable diligence.
The app has truly become an essential part of my daily routine on my Mac.
Thank you, my friend, for everything you do.

Great app, and the one I have been using for a while now. No problems at all. Just does the thing, and the developer is very responsive.
It’s amazing to see how voice input can actually replace typing for real work! Love this app!
Spokenly launches today type up to 4x faster using just your voice. Boost productivity and let your thoughts flow hands free.
No way, this is exactly what I need—my hands are always tired from typing all day, and being able to use my voice everywhere on my Mac is such a game changer. Does it handle accents well?
Any plans for a mobile version? I'd love to be able to have a conversation and build with AI while on a walk.
Definitely, it's one of the best value for money dictation apps available for the Mac platform. I can highly recommend it, and you have so many options with so many different voice and large language models. And the developer is really active in his Discord group, so you can easily get answers to all your questions directly from the developer, which is a really nice plus.
