One-time purchase.
Lite is intended to remain useful without a subscription. Pro is planned as a future one-time purchase when its features are real. Lite does not record the screen or system audio.
In testing
Advanced dictation layer.
The next advanced versions are being shaped around natural dictation, not raw transcription: silence handling, context between fragments, spoken formatting, mixed-language safety checks, and a guarded final cleanup pass for more readable text. This dictation flow is planned to stay local on the Mac; cloud transcription is not part of it.
Roadmap
Pro v1: Control and Memory
Pro v1: Control and Memory
Installed model picker, additional local model manager, language selection, safe hotkey picker, searchable local history, and a user dictionary for names, places, projects, technical terms, and multilingual vocabulary.
Pro v2: Output workflows
Plain, cleaned, email, formal, message, and notes styles, with raw and final text stored separately when history is enabled.
Pro v3: Long dictation
Longer dictation sessions for bigger documents, with progress states, recovery, and local handling designed for sustained writing.
Pro v4: Audio Capture archive
Future live captions, call subtitles, and transcription from macOS Audio Capture would be optional, user-started, and consent-based, with local saving of audio and text only when you choose it.
