Hold to Dictate
A configurable global shortcut records while you hold it. Release, and the cleaned-up text is pasted straight at your cursor in whatever app you were in.
🇵🇱 Polish-native model🔒 100% on-device🎙️ Hold, speak, paste
muff
Polish-first AI dictation for macOS. You dictate the way people actually speak — with the ums, the digressions, the swearing — and muff hands back finished text: an essay, a legal brief, a chapter. Everything runs on your Mac; audio and text never leave the device.
What it does
Speech and Language, On-Device
Speech recognition runs on the Apple Neural Engine and a bundled Polish-native language model cleans up the text. Nothing leaves the Mac — no cloud, no telemetry.
Writer Mode
The Writer profile turns raw, rambling dictation into finished prose. Lawyer, teacher, student, email and notes profiles are on the roadmap.
Continuous Dictation
Keep a session running hands-free instead of holding the key for every sentence — useful for long-form drafting.
Wake-Word Activation
Start a dictation session from a spoken phrase rather than a keypress, with configurable stop phrases to end it.
Spoken Commands
Say an emoji and it gets inserted; say a number in Polish or English and it lands as digits, not words.
Local History
Every session is stored locally in SQLite with its audio segments, browsable from a History view on your own machine.
Live Overlay
A floating pill with a waveform shows capture state, and a HUD shortcut cycles dictation modes without opening settings.
One Product, One Language
