I always felt that using my voice, I could portray my thoughts more easily than by typing them out. Not only that, but it was way faster. And currently, in the age of AI, I’m talking to different AI agents the whole day. But so far, it was very tedious to tell them what to do by typing it out, so I built an app for that. Dictly.

Dictly redefines dictation on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. Unlike cloud-based tools, Dictly runs entirely on your device — delivering instant, private, and offline dictation. Just press a hotkey and speak: your words appear styled, formatted, and polished directly in any text field.

Key Features

Near-realtime performance: Latency as low as 200 ms means your words appear almost as fast as you speak them.

System-wide integration: Works everywhere — from Notes to Mail to your IDE. No copy-pasting, no switching apps.

Advanced processing: Customizable pipelines let you automatically apply grammar fixes, adjust tone and style, format as Markdown, or even generate code.

Personal touch: Custom dictionaries ensure your unique names, technical jargon, and specific workflows are always recognized correctly.

Privacy by design: No servers, no data collection, no cloud. Everything happens on your device, keeping your words completely private.

Dictly makes typing optional and your voice unstoppable. It’s the tool I always wanted for turning thoughts into text at the speed of speech, without compromising on quality or privacy.
