Hold ⌥ Space in any Mac app, talk, and Precis types finished text at your cursor, shaped for the app: a message, an email, or a prompt for ChatGPT or Claude. It runs on your Mac and rejects rewrites that add facts you didn't say. $39 once.
started building Precis after using apps like Wispr flow and realizing how much I liked the idea of voice being a real input method, not just transcription.
Then Apple opened up its on-device Foundation Models, and that got me thinking: if the intelligence can run locally, why should a simple everyday tool need a cloud AI bill?
So I built Precis around that idea. The speech recognition and rewriting happen on the Mac, using Apple’s on-device models where available. No API costs, no subscription for AI usage, and it keeps working without an internet connection.
I also wanted something I’d actually use every day, so the goal became pretty simple: hold a shortcut, talk normally, release, and keep working.
I’m building this as a solo developer, so I’m particularly interested in where it falls short. Human beings apparently enjoy finding bugs in other people’s software. This is your opportunity.
