Runs on-device. Nothing leaves your Mac.
Holdandspeak.
Your words appear.
A vanishingly small dictation app for Mac. No modal, no overlay. Press the key. Release. It types for you, wherever you are.

Four things that happen quietly, every day.
Scenes
Not a feature list. Actual moments — replayed on loop as you scroll.
01
Reply to a mail without touching the keyboard.
Focus the reply box. Hold Alt. Speak. Release. The draft is typed, already composed in your voice.
02
Vibe-code with Claude. Hands off the keyboard.
Inside the Terminal, hold Alt and think out loud. Your rambling prompt lands in Claude Code, already typed.
03
It learns the words you correct.
Speak a name it doesn't know. alt mis-hears it — you fix it once, and it never forgets. Quietly, in the background, across every app.
04
Wherever you can type, you can speak.
Alt lives in the notch. Hold the key, think out loud — it drafts, rephrases, and delivers your message to the right app. Hands never leave the trackpad.

“I stopped noticing I was using it after the third day. It's just how I write now — the keyboard became optional.”
