Wordmate

Voice typing. Without the cloud.

Speak prompts and ideas into Codex, Claude Code, or any app on your Mac. Wordmate turns them into text with fast open-source models that are free, local, and never send your voice to the cloud.

Less typing. More thinking.

Wordmate waits in your menu bar, ready for a quick reply or a long coding prompt.

1. Hold or double-click Fn: Hold Fn for a quick thought, or double-click for hands-free recording when the idea needs more room.
2. Speak naturally: Think out loud, even with pauses and filler words. Wordmate turns it into clean text.
3. Keep writing: Release Fn, or press it once more, and the finished text appears wherever you were typing.

Fast, private, and entirely yours. From a one-line fix to a full implementation brief, say it while the thought is fresh.

• Nothing leaves your Mac: Your audio goes from the microphone straight to a model on this Mac. It is never uploaded.
• Blazing fast: Parakeet runs natively on Apple silicon, keeping pace with your train of thought.
• Powered by open source: Fast open-source speech and language models run natively on Apple silicon, so everything stays entirely on your Mac.
• Actually free: No subscription, credits, paid tier, or usage meter. Download once and use it freely.
• Built for coding out loud: Speak prompts, implementation context, and review notes into Codex, Claude Code, your terminal, or editor.
• Legal may now exhale: GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2. What else? Your voice never leaves your Mac, so privacy is covered by default.

Free means free. Local models use hardware you already own, so there is nothing to meter and nothing to charge by the minute.

• No subscription: Use Wordmate every day without a plan, trial, or upgrade screen.
• No usage limits: Long thought or quick reply, there are no minutes or credits to count.
• No account: Install it, choose raw or cleaned-up output, and start speaking. No sign-up required.
