Blazing-Fast, 100% Private Offline Dictation
The bottleneck of the modern workflow
As a heavy user of agentic AI coding assistants like Claude Code and Gemini CLI, I'm constantly typing. The endless clacking away on the keyboard to send commands and draft complex prompts was becoming exhausting. I wanted my workflow to move at the speed of thought, but I was stuck moving at the speed of my fingers.
The privacy problem with existing tools
I knew voice dictation was the answer, but the existing options were deeply flawed. The most capable speech-to-text tools were all cloud-based, meaning they required an internet connection and compromised my privacy by sending every spoken word to remote servers. The alternatives built into operating systems were often slow, or even worse, forced me to manually speak my punctuation like a robot ("comma," "period"), or interrupted my flow with clunky, distracting interfaces.
The local solution
I built Keet to be the uncompromising alternative. Powered by NVIDIA’s Parakeet AI model, Keet is a lightning-fast, 100% offline dictation app for Windows and macOS. It runs completely locally on your machine—meaning zero cloud processing and total privacy. You simply press a hotkey to start, speak naturally, press your hotkey to stop, and your perfectly punctuated words drop immediately into your active window. It is designed to conquer typing fatigue for anyone who wants to work faster without sacrificing their data.
Beyond the command line
While Keet was born out of frustration with coding tools, it has grown into an essential utility for anyone whose day revolves around a keyboard. It is perfect for business professionals blasting through daily emails, project managers compiling detailed status reports, or remote teams communicating constantly in Slack and Microsoft Teams. I have seen students benefit immensely by seamlessly dictating long essays and research papers. Whether you are a copywriter writing drafts, a support specialist responding to tickets, or just someone who wants to speak their mind instead of typing it out, Keet lets you stop typing and start talking.
