Built for macOS

Start typing
by speaking.

Why type when you can speak? Open Flow turns speech into text in any app on your Mac. Audio never leaves your machine.

Hold to record

Hold the right Option key in any app. Let go and the transcript lands where your cursor is.

Lives in the menu bar

Always there, never in the way. A small icon, a quiet pulse, a clean keystroke.

Nothing leaves your Mac

Transcription runs locally. Audio is discarded the moment your transcript is ready.

Quiet by design.

Most dictation tools route your voice through a server. Open Flow doesn't. The model lives on your machine, the recording lives for a moment, and what you said becomes what you typed — without a middleman.
