The problem

You think three times faster than you type.

Ideas, replies, and half-finished thoughts come out faster than your fingers can keep up.
Emails, messages, and meeting follow-ups pile up because typing them out takes longer than just saying them.
Most dictation tools want a subscription, a cloud upload, or a second app for transcription. The workaround becomes its own job.

Whiskers handles live dictation, file transcription, and optional cleanup in one native Mac app.

Use cases

Built for people who move faster than their keyboard.

Whiskers fits into the workflows where speed matters most.

Coding & AI prompts

Talk through prompts for Cursor, Copilot, or Claude without breaking flow. Describe intent faster than you can type it.

e.g."Refactor auth to validate JWT before rate-limiting"

Emails & quick replies

Clear your inbox, answer messages, and send follow-ups while your train of thought is still fresh.

e.g."Thanks again for the intro — Thursday at 2 works for me"

Notes & brainstorming

Capture ideas, meeting takeaways, and rough drafts before they disappear. Great for thinking out loud.

e.g."Three ideas for the launch page: ease, privacy, and price"

Audio & video transcription

Drop in interviews, meetings, lectures, and recordings to get searchable text or SRT subtitles back.

e.g."Transcribe the team sync and export subtitles for the walkthrough"
How it works

From thought to text in three steps.

1

Hold your shortcut

Pick any key combo. A small HUD appears to confirm Whiskers is ready.

2

Speak naturally

Draft out loud — emails, notes, prompts, anything. Whiskers listens, transcribes, and stays out of your way.

3

Let go. Text appears.

Text appears at your cursor instantly. No paste, no copy, no switching apps.

Features

One app. No compromises.

Dictation, transcription, and optional AI cleanup in one Mac app.

Dictate into any app

Hold a key, speak, release. Text lands at your cursor in Mail, Notes, Slack, VS Code, Chrome, and more.

Batch-transcribe audio and video

Drop in recordings and get searchable text or SRT subtitles back. Great for interviews, meetings, podcasts, and lectures.

Optional AI cleanup

Turn rough dictation into polished prose with Claude, GPT, or your own endpoint. Entirely opt-in. Bring your own key.

Custom vocabulary

Teach Whiskers the names, jargon, and acronyms you use daily so it nails them on the first try. No more correcting the same words.

Searchable transcript history

Find, review, copy, or export past transcripts without digging through files. Your archive stays on your Mac.

Private by design

Whiskers is a native macOS app built for local-first transcription. Optional cloud services only come into play if you choose them.

From real users

People start with one workflow — then use it everywhere.

“I vibe-code with Cursor 8 hours a day. Dictating prompts instead of typing them out doubled my throughput. Can't go back.”

“Between Slack, email, and code reviews, I type thousands of words a day. Now I just talk. Whiskers pastes it right at my cursor — no clipboard, no app switching.”

Marcus R.Staff Engineer

“I batch-transcribe 4 podcast episodes a week. Whiskers replaced a $30/mo service and the SRT export is cleaner than what I was getting from Descript.”
