Rekody - Rekody

Rekody. You talk. It types. Voice dictation for macOS.

Hold ⌥ Space, speak, and the words land where your cursor is, in any app. Everything runs on your Mac: no accounts, no servers, no audio leaving your machine.

~100ms

From key release to final text, on the default on-device engine.

0 network calls

While dictating. The speech model downloads once at setup, then dictation never touches the network.

Open source

The dictation engine is MIT licensed, so you do not have to take our word for any of this.

How a dictation works

Three stages: you speak into a waveform, an on-device model on your Mac, then finished text at your cursor.

You hold or tap ⌥ Space and speak.
Rekody transcribes on your Mac while you talk. Words appear live.
You release, or pause, and the finished text lands at your cursor.

That is the whole loop. No window to switch to, no paste step, no upload.

Your first dictation

Hold to talk, or tap for hands-free. Either way, the text lands at your cursor.

The pill

The floating capsule that shows you what Rekody hears while you dictate.

Dictionary

Teach Rekody the names, jargon, and product terms that matter to you.

Snippets

Say a short phrase, get a long block of text you type often.

Privacy

No accounts, no telemetry, no servers. Here is exactly what stays on your Mac.

The CLI

The open-source engine for people who live in the terminal.

Configuration

Every setting the CLI reads from one TOML file.

Two ways to run Rekody

The Mac app is the easiest way in: a free download with a guided setup, a floating pill while you dictate, and a workspace for your history, dictionary, and snippets. The CLI is the open-source engine underneath, for people who live in the terminal. Same pipeline, same privacy, configured through a TOML file.
