Overview
QuietSpeech is a menu bar dictation app for Mac. Hold Fn, speak, and the text appears wherever your cursor is, in any app. It runs on Apple's speech recognizer and Apple Intelligence, so there is no API key to set up and dictation works offline. Select text and say how to change it to rewrite it, or ask it to write something new. Add your own words and names to the vocabulary so they come out right. It uses under 60 MB of memory, needs no account and sends no telemetry. The source is on GitHub under GPLv3. $29 once for two Macs, with no subscription and a 14-day refund. Requires macOS 26 on Apple silicon.
Who is it for?
Mac users on Apple silicon who write a lot and want dictation without a subscription or an API key.
Problem
Typing is slow, and most dictation apps need a monthly subscription, a cloud account or your own API key.
Solution
Hold Fn and speak; the text appears in whatever app you're in. Apple's speech recognizer and Apple Intelligence do the work on your Mac, and you can rewrite selected text by voice.
What makes it unique
No API key, works offline, under 60 MB of memory, open source (GPLv3), and $29 once for two Macs.
