Works everywhere

Just talk.Any app.

Speak into Notes, Slack, your code editor, the address bar — anywhere you can type, you can talk. Nothing to set up, no commands to memorize, 99 languages, your words landing as you go.

Private by design

Your data stayson your machine.

Every word is transcribed locally, with on-device Whisper. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored on a server, no account required — your voice never leaves your Mac.

Pay once, not every month

Nosubscription.

Cloud dictation apps run about $15 every month. VoiceMode is $50, once — it pays for itself in roughly three months, then never costs another cent.

Everything it does

One app.
The whole workflow.

A native menu-bar app that stays out of the way until you press your key — then does the work and disappears.

01 — Private by design

Nothing leaves your Mac.

VoiceMode private on-device transcription

Every word is transcribed and polished locally. No account, no upload, no telemetry — the permissions are right there in the open, and there's no “send to cloud” switch to find, because there isn't one.

100% on-device No account No telemetry Works offline
02 — Transcription & polish

Speak. Clean text appears.

VoiceMode transcription and polish settings

On-device Whisper, your choice of model — from fast to most accurate. It strips filler words and fixes punctuation as you talk, and never touches the network to do it.

03 — One hotkey

One key is the whole interface.

VoiceMode hotkey settings

Pick any global shortcut. Press, speak, release — your words land in whatever app is in front of you. No window to open, nothing to click.

04 — Voice shortcuts

Teach it your shorthand.

VoiceMode voice shortcuts settings

Say a trigger word and VoiceMode expands it before it types — say “sig” for your whole signature. Spoken commands like “new line” just work, and mid-sentence fixes (“meet at 2, actually 3”) resolve on their own.
