Sprich

Sprich is a native macOS dictation app built on two ideas: it runs entirely on your Mac, and it bends to how you actually work.

Local-first: the whole pipeline — Whisper for speech, a local model for cleanup — runs on Apple Silicon. Your voice never leaves the device, there are no per-use cloud costs, and it works offline. Pick the on-device models that fit your Mac, or bring your own cloud API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Gemini, Deepgram) — stored in Keychain, never proxied.

Three modes, switchable with one keystroke: Literal cleans up raw dictation; Formal turns a spoken ramble into polished writing; and Custom is yours to define — write your own system prompt and Sprich does exactly that, whether it's Slack replies, commit messages, or support tickets. No limits.

A single global hotkey works anywhere in macOS — press, speak, and the text lands at your cursor. 15 languages with auto-detection. And because it's fully local, it's just as at home with sensitive work that can't go through the cloud. Notarized, signed auto-updates, Mac-only. $59 one-time, 7-day free trial, no subscription.

The entire pipeline runs on the user's Mac: Whisper transcribes speech, then a local Gemma model cleans up the raw transcript — removing filler, fixing structure, and matching the tone of wherever you're typing. Audio stays in memory, is never written to disk, and never leaves the device. It works fully offline.

For users who prefer a cloud model, Sprich supports bring-your-own API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Gemini, Deepgram); keys are stored in the macOS Keychain and never proxied through Sprich's servers. A single global hotkey works anywhere in macOS — press, speak, and a polished draft lands in the focused field. Three modes (Literal, Formal, Custom) switch with one keystroke. 15 languages with auto-detection. Notarized, with signed auto-updates. Mac-only. $59 one-time, 7-day free trial, no subscription.
