Hi Product Hunt, my name is Allan, and I’m one of the founders of Willow. Ever since we launched Willow on Mac, iOS has been our #1 request. Typing is slow and outdated on computers, and it’s even worse on phones when you’re stuck tapping tiny keys with your thumbs. Phones weren’t made for that. Voice is the most natural way to communicate, and we’re making it happen. Willow for iOS is a custom voice-first keyboard that turns speech into text anywhere on your phone. It’s easy to access, works in every app like Gmail and Slack, and 3x more accurate than built-in Apple dictation. What’s included: 1) Instant speech-to-text: Fast, accurate, and intelligent, with built-in autocorrect and formatting so you dictate without mistakes 2) Works anywhere: Seamless across Gmail, Slack, Notes, and every text box on your phone 3) Style-matching: Adjust tone based on the app you’re using, so texts don’t sound like emails 4) AI rewrite: Press a button to polish your dictation in different tones or styles without rewriting 5) Dictionary: Add your own terms, names, or company-specific words directly from the keyboard or app 6) Privacy and security: All systems are SOC 2 and HIPAA compliant, with enterprise-grade security and privacy We’ve seen Willow become everything from a go-to productivity tool for busy professionals to an easier, more natural way for anyone to interact with their devices. iOS is now part of the Willow platform, connected with our Mac version under one account. We’d love to hear from you. How are you using Willow on your phone, and what can we do better? The team Richard, Lawrence, Gordon, and I will be available to answer any questions in the comments. P.S. Try using Willow to write your comment or review!

@allan_guo congrats on the launch!

@allan_guo Congrats on the launch! I use voice tools a lot while traveling, so Willow on iOS looks perfect. Can’t wait to try it out!

Willow has saved me countless hours on my MacBook already, and I am thrilled that it now comes to my iPhone. I've used it as a beta product, and it is a big improvement from the standard dictation that I used in iOS.

What's more important is how impressively responsive the team behind Willow is, regardless of the platform that it operates on, they are quick to implement improvements and always happy to hear new ideas. It is a pleasure to be on the journey with this team, and the productivity gains I get from using Willow make the subscription a no-brainer.

Highly recommend it to download and start using today!

(oh - and for the record: all of this was dictated using Willow!)

I have been using the desktop version of Willow for writing. Very excited to see the iOS version finally released. Now I'm able to quickly send text messages, and just before sleep I'm able to quickly journal for the day. It is very convenient. Thanks a lot for the great product and congratulations for the launch.

There are so few products that I use every single day and Willow on iOS is one of them. You’ve gotta try it.

Great idea @allan_guo ! I love how seamless the is UI, feels like the next Grammarly. Does it recognize your language automatically as well? For me personally it would be a killing feature.

@allan_guo  @pasha_tseluyko Yep! By default we automatically recognize your language. You can also reassign this manually in the settings tab.

@lawrenceliuu I love the fact you have mac and ios apps, that's fire 🔥

Neat product! I use Wispr a fair bit at the moment, how is Willow different?

@eman_zabi Thanks! We're the first voice-first custom keyboard on iOS. 1) Full alphabet keyboard 2) Style-matching (automatic tone adjustment based on the app you’re using, so texts don’t sound like emails) 3) AI-rewriting features. A neat workflow we've seen is using voice dictation to get thoughts down, then using our AI-rewrite feature to clean text up. Have you tried that?

how is this different to wisprflow?

@allan_guo I've tried the keyboard, and from a UX perspective, it is nicer. I like how I can reformat it directly from the iOS keyboard, but everything else that you said is available to me via Wispr Flow. it might be good to refine your positioning

I've been using Willow for a few days now, and it is such a breath of fresh air. Typically, before I would dictate into an AI tool, get the AI tool to clean up my dictation, and then I would have to copy-paste that into my message window. I have been able to do away with that multistep workflow, I just open my messaging app on iPhone and Mac and speak away. I’ve not had to make too many edits which I have also be pleasantly surprised with. I'm so pleased that I came across this and I hope the software gets better and better. Keep up the good work, guys. Well done. (This message was made using Willow ☺️)

@tokxie Michael, this means the world to us. Yup, the goal was to create the most seamless dictation experience, and that means removing as many steps as possible. Glad to hear you've enjoyed it.
