Built for daily Mac work
Talk to your Mac.
Capture a thought, shape a draft, search what you said, or kick off a workflow without leaving the app in front of you.
A mic is all you need.
See Talkie in action.
One voice layer. Right on your Mac.
Draft, search, route, and trigger follow-up work from the machine where you already spend your day.

Speak once.
Keep moving.
Talkie is useful because it lives close to the work. You talk, your Mac keeps going.
Speed
We speak at 150 words per minute but type at 40. Voice capture lets you get thoughts out before they evolve or fade.
4x Faster Capture
Stay in Flow
Speak without opening another app or losing your place. The capture stays attached to the work already on screen.
Context Preserved
Continuity
Capture on iPhone or Watch, then continue on Mac with search, cleanup, workflows, and CLI access ready when you need them.
Capture → Recover → Action
Lives in your menu bar. Works in any app.
Your Mac already runs
your day.
Talkie fits that reality instead of fighting it.
It is not just dictation. It is a way to drive drafts, search, workflows, and follow-up work with your voice.
Then, if something occurs away from your desk, iPhone and Watch feed the same thread back into your Mac.
How It Works
Hold the Hotkey
Press and hold your configured key (default: Right Option). Recording starts instantly. No click, no menu.
Speak Your Mind
Talk naturally. A subtle HUD appears. Your original app stays in focus. You never leave what you were doing.
Release to Transcribe
Let go of the key. On-device AI transcribes your speech in about a second. Nothing leaves your Mac.
Text Appears
Your transcription is pasted directly where your cursor was, or copied to clipboard. You're already back to work.

Ideas → Action
Every bit of friction between thought and capture is a chance for an idea to vanish. Here are a few ways Talkie gets used in real work.
While Coding
"Alright, thinking out loud: first fix the auth flow, then clean up these tests, then rename this module…"
Keep a running stream of code notes without leaving your editor.
Email Drafts
"Hey Sarah, quick update on the launch. We're on track for Friday, but we need a final sign-off on pricing…"
Dictate the rough draft, then tweak tone instead of typing from scratch.
Meeting Notes
"Key decisions: ship v1 as-is, move analytics to next sprint. Action items: John owns rollout, I own bug triage…"
Capture the debrief right after the call while it's still fresh.
Context Switching
"Where I left off: debugging the memory leak in the worker pool, next step is to isolate the new job type…"
Leave yourself a breadcrumb so you can drop back into deep work fast.
Draft a Blog Post
"Title idea: Why I stopped writing specs by hand. Intro: I used to… now I just…"
Talk through the messy first draft instead of staring at a blank page.
Creative Briefs
"Visual direction: dark background, single accent color, feels like a focused tool not a dashboard. References: Linear, Raycast…"
Capture nuance and small details before they slip away.
Features
Hold-to-Talk
No buttons to click. Hold a hotkey to record, release to transcribe. Builds muscle memory in minutes.
Return to Origin
Talkie remembers which app and text field you were in. Text gets pasted right back where you were working.
48-Hour Echoes
Your transcriptions are stored locally for 48 hours. Quick access to recent captures, no permanent clutter.
Minimal HUD
A subtle floating pill shows recording state. Expands on hover for details, disappears when not needed.
Smart Routing
Auto-paste into text fields, or copy to clipboard for non-editable contexts. Intelligently adapts.
Always Ready
Lives silently in your menu bar. No app to launch, no window to find. Ready the instant you need it.
Keep the full chain on your side.
Your library lives locally, sync can run through iCloud, transcription can stay on device, and external providers are optional with your own keys.
