Your voice never
leaves your Mac.
Press a key, speak, and clean, punctuated text appears — transcribed right on your Apple Silicon. Private by default, and free to start.
Three steps. Zero friction.
No menus, no modes, no setup wizards. Press, speak, done.
Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.
Built for people who type all day and wish they didn’t have to.
Offline by default.
Whisper runs locally on Apple Silicon. Your audio never leaves your Mac — no server round-trip, no latency, total privacy. It even works in airplane mode.
Pipe to any AI.
Your existing CLI tools — Claude, Gemini, your own scripts — run automatically on whatever you just said. Speak; liltype handles the rest and pastes the result.
- Rewrite, translate, or summarize on release
- Bring your own command, no lock-in
- Output lands in the active app
Use cloud models when you want to. Your keys, your control — never proxied, never stored by us.
Teach liltype your jargon, brand names, and domain terms so it spells them right, every time.
Every dictation saved, searchable, and pinnable — kept private until you reveal it.
Record the meeting. Let AI take the notes.
liltype detects when you’re in a call, captures both sides of the audio, and keeps a speaker-labeled transcript. Then your own AI tools turn it into summaries, action items, and decisions.
- Auto-detects Zoom, Teams, and Slack huddles
- Full searchable transcript, saved as a .liltype file
- Summarize and extract action items with your AI
- Process hours of meetings in seconds
Speak one language. Read another.
Pick a language pair and a shortcut, then talk. liltype streams the original and the translation side by side in real time — so you can follow a call, take a meeting, or write in a language you don’t type.
- Original and translation paired, line by line
- A global shortcut starts and stops it anywhere
- Your own Google Translation key — stored in Keychain
- Copy the whole session in one click
Your voice. Your machine. No exceptions.
liltype was built so your audio never has to leave your Mac.
Audio is transcribed on your Mac’s Neural Engine with Whisper. No server round-trips, no cloud dependency. Works in airplane mode.
Choose cloud models for AI pipes or cloud STT and you bring the keys. We never see, store, or proxy them.
Set a hard daily limit on cloud spend. liltype falls back to local processing when you hit it. No surprise bills.
Free to start. Private by design.
