Everything in one place

The command center shows what spellsafe heard, how much time it's saved you, and the words you've taught it. It all stays on your Mac.

spellsafe command center: History

Every dictation, with the app it went to and the recording. Re-run any of them with another model to compare.

A little magic, none of the cloud

A menu bar app that listens when you ask it to and types where your cursor is.

Private by design

Speech recognition runs on your Mac with NVIDIA Parakeet. No account, no uploads, works offline.

Fast on Apple silicon

Runs on the Neural Engine. Words appear as you speak, then a final pass tidies everything up.

Works in every app

Mail, Slack, your editor, a browser tab. If it has a text field, spellsafe can type into it.

Spells your words right

Teach it names, jargon and product names once, and they come out spelled your way every time.

Three steps to talking, not typing

Set up once, then dictate from anywhere.

  1. Download spellsafe, open the disk image and drag it to Applications.
  2. Open it and grant Microphone and Accessibility access, so it can hear you and type for you.
  3. Tap ⌃⌥D or Right Option to dictate live, or hold it to talk and release to type.

Cast your first spell

For Macs with Apple silicon running macOS 14 or later.
