🎙️ Smart voice input for Mac that captures thoughts as fast as you think them. Works in every app with custom shortcuts, local Whisper models, and your own API keys. ⚡️ Replace typing, boost productivity instantly.
I'm Vadim, the solo developer behind Spokenly. As someone who thinks faster than I type, I was constantly frustrated by the mental context switching. Whether responding to emails, messaging in Slack and Discord, or writing AI prompts, I wanted to just speak and have my words appear instantly, anywhere on my Mac.
✨ What makes Spokenly special: • Works universally - In any app, any text field, just speak • Zero friction - One hotkey and you're talking • Your choice of privacy - Local processing or API (you decide) • AI formatting - Transform rambling thoughts into polished text • Agent mode - Control your Mac with voice commands
@valdomar I would love to talk to you more about Spokenly. I was born without hands and although I use a standard keyboard and mouse I type pretty slow so I have been using Voice to type more frequently. I downloaded Spokenly today and gave it a try I would love to share some feedback with you. I also recently wrote a article on my consulting website about some other similar apps.

@rajiv_ayyangar Thanks for asking! Spokenly is built on the principle of simplicity first, with powerful features available when you need them. Key differences:
Use your own API keys for faster, more private dictation
Agent mode to control your Mac with voice commands (open apps, run shortcuts, talk to ChatGPT)
Choose from different AI models depending on what you need (speed vs accuracy)
Free & unlimited local Whisper models

I can’t speak highly enough of this app and its developer. Vadim is exceptionally kind and generous, dedicating himself tirelessly to continually improve the product with remarkable diligence.
The app has truly become an essential part of my daily routine on my Mac.
@wada3n Thank you for the kind words! Your feedback over time has helped shape what Spokenly is today.

I tried out Superwhisper, coded my own and also tried to find another alternative until i read about Spokenly on reddit. It is amazing. I am using it with groq - super cheap + super fast. I switched from Superwhisper bc it only uses 40mb of ram on my mac. keep up the good work and pls keep it free :)
@ebl0 Hey Eugene! Main differences: Spokenly can run both locally on Mac and in the cloud, allows you to bring your own API keys from any provider (faster & private), and includes Agent mode for automating Mac tasks. Plus customizable AI Prompts to transform your dictation.

Unveil Engine
Any plans for a mobile version? I'd love to be able to have a conversation and build with AI while on a walk.
Spokenly
@ej_sanmartin iOS version is actually in development. Planning to launch next week!
@ej_sanmartin @valdomar Now I have the obligation to ask when is the Android version coming haha
Spokenly
@ej_sanmartin @nek_12 Not yet! iOS is already a big challenge as a solo developer. Android & Windows support might come later if things go well!
Unveil Engine
@valdomar holy shitska the velocity though ‼️ pumped to support that lauch as well!
