Dear Machine - A little less typing. A little more you.

Stop renting voice dictation from the cloud. Dear Machine turns your natural, rambling speech into clean, polished writing right at your cursor, entirely on your Mac. Because it runs local open-source models optimized directly for Apple Silicon, your voice never leaves your hardware, transcription works with zero internet, and there are no monthly subscriptions. Test it free for 7 days at dearmachine.app.
