· DICTATION CAPTURE
Set the hotkey. Dictate anywhere.
Talkie makes the capture path explicit: hotkey, push-to-talk, microphone, and the local sounds around each recording.
· ON YOUR iPHONE
· ON YOUR WATCH
· ON YOUR MAC
· CAPTURES
What it might sound like.
AI-simulated recordings. Max and Sarah are fictional to protect Claude’s privacy.
“Tell Sarah I'll be ten late but bringing coffee.”
· CAPTURE MODES
One capture. Works everywhere.
A capture can become a note, a draft, a search, or the start of a workflow. Say it once, then use it where it belongs.
Catch it before it changes.
Record on iPhone, Watch, or Mac. Transcript stays in one place.
Speak straight into the work.
Hotkey on Mac. Dictate into whatever app you're already in.
Clean it up later.
Rewrite, trim, or expand once the raw take is saved. It's not going anywhere.
Find it three weeks from now.
Search across everything you’ve said. Talkie remembers the app, the time, and the context.
Turn raw speech into stuff you can use.
Voice goes in. Summaries, tasks, and files come out.
Script against it.
Your voice data has a CLI. Pipe it, query it, build on it.
· COMING BACK LATER
Voice notes are easy to save.
Harder to use.
Talkie keeps enough of the moment intact that coming back later feels less like archaeology and more like picking work back up.
Capture in the cheapest mode.
Use whatever's closest: iPhone, Watch, a Mac memo, or dictation right at the keyboard.
Recover the surrounding context.
Talkie remembers the transcript, time, app, and project clues that make a later search actually useful.
Turn it into output when you are ready.
Summaries, tasks, cleaned-up notes, diffs, and workflows happen after the idea is safely stored.
A remote control for your agents.

Start with your Mac.
iPhone and Watch help you catch the thought. Mac is where Talkie earns its keep. DMG, App Store, or a single CLI command.
Why local-first matters.
The philosophy behind a little app that stays out of your way and keeps your voice on your side. Keep reading
