Speak naturally.
Whiskers types it for you.
Hold a hotkey, talk, release. Your words appear at your cursor — in any app, transcribed entirely on your Mac. No account, no subscription, no cloud. $23 once and it's yours.
You think at 150 wpm. You type at 40.
Whiskers replaces all of them. One app. On your Mac. No subscription.
Hold. Speak. Release.
Hold your shortcut
Pick any key combo. A small HUD appears to confirm Whiskers is ready.
Just talk
Think out loud. Whiskers transcribes every word in real time, right on your Mac.
Let go. Text appears.
Pasted at your cursor — Slack, Notion, VS Code, Mail, anywhere you type.
One app. No compromises.
Dictation, transcription, and AI cleanup — all running locally on your Mac.
Dictate into any app
Slack, Notion, VS Code, Mail, Chrome — wherever your cursor is. Hold a key, speak, and the text appears.
Batch-transcribe files
Drop audio or video files. Get searchable text or SRT subtitles in minutes, not hours.
Optional AI cleanup
Send text to OpenAI, Claude, or your own endpoint for polish. Bring your own API key. Entirely opt-in.
Custom vocabulary
Teach Whiskers the names, jargon, and acronyms only your team uses.
Searchable history
Every transcript saved locally. Search, copy, or export — nothing leaves your Mac.
Private by design
Audio never leaves your machine. AI only sees text you explicitly choose to send.
People who switched don't go back.
“I write 2,000-word product briefs weekly. Now I talk through them on my commute and paste the transcript into Notion when I sit down. Saves me two hours every Monday.”
“Tried Otter, Whisper, MacWhisper. Whiskers is the only one that pastes directly at my cursor. No switching apps, no cloud upload. I use it 30+ times a day.”
“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.”
Pay once. Own it forever.
No subscription. No usage limits. No surprise charges.

Good questions. Straight answers.
Whiskers uses Apple's built-in speech recognition, which runs entirely on your Mac. No audio is ever sent to a server. It's fast, private, and works offline.
If it has a text cursor, Whiskers works with it. Slack, Notion, VS Code, Mail, Chrome, Safari, Pages, Bear — literally any Mac app.
Nope. Transcription is fully offline. You only need the internet if you opt into AI enhancement — and that's entirely your choice.
It sends your transcript text (not audio) to OpenAI, Claude, or your own endpoint for cleanup, grammar fixes, or reformatting. You bring your own API key, and it's completely optional.
The speech engine runs on your hardware. There's no server for us to maintain, so there's nothing to charge you for every month. Simple as that.
