Everything you need,
nothing you don't

Voice to text that respects your privacy and just works

Voice recognition

Uses Apple's built-in speech recognition to capture your words accurately in real-time as you speak.

Local AI processing

Apple's on-device speech model does the transcribing, and your own dictionary fixes the words it mishears. Nothing leaves your Mac.

Instant paste

Processed text is automatically copied and pasted into whatever app you're working in. Zero friction.

Privacy first

No cloud, no telemetry, no accounts. Your voice data is processed locally and never stored or transmitted.

One shortcut

Hold to record, release to process. That's it. Your text appears right where you need it.

Works everywhere

Paste into Slack, email, VS Code, Google Docs, Notes, or any app with a text field.

Works with every app on your Mac

Why rent a server when you own your Mac?

Wispr Flow charges a subscription because your voice is transcribed on their servers. Voxr runs on the chip already in your Mac, so there is nothing to rent and nothing to send.

Frequently asked questions

Is Voxr free?

Yes! Voxr is completely free to download and use.

What version of macOS do I need?

Voxr requires macOS 26 Tahoe or later. It transcribes with Apple's on-device SpeechTranscriber, which ships with macOS 26 — that's what keeps dictation local and free.

Do I need an internet connection?

No. Voxr runs entirely on your Mac. Speech recognition and AI processing both happen locally. No cloud, no internet required.

What AI models does Voxr use?

Voxr uses on-device AI to process your transcriptions locally. Your voice data never leaves your Mac.

Just say it. Can we push the designreview to Thursday? Spoken to Voxr. Typed on your Mac. Nothing leaves it.
