Notiqflow

Hold a key. Speak. Polished text at your cursor. Notiqflow transcribes your voice on-device with NVIDIA's Parakeet and OpenAI's Whisper, tidies it up, and types it into whatever app you're in — no accounts, no per-use costs.

// How it works

From key-press to cursor.

Hold your key and speak. Everything from capture to insertion runs on the Apple Neural Engine — the audio never leaves your machine.

01 · Capture

Speak while you hold

The mic is captured and resampled to 16 kHz mono — only while your key is held.

02 · Transcribe

On-device models

Parakeet or Whisper runs on the Apple Neural Engine, then cleanup tidies the text.

03 · Insert

Straight to your cursor

The result is pasted at your cursor, with an accessibility fast-path and a safe fallback.

// Overview

Dictation that never leaves your Mac

Notiqflow is a free, open-source macOS app that turns speech into polished text without the cloud, accounts or subscriptions common to dictation tools. Fast note-taking, email and hands-free writing — private by default.

The toolkit

Everything you need to talk instead of type:

  • Hold-to-talk: Hold the fn key or a modifier combo, speak, release.
  • Instant cleanup: Rule-based tidying removes fillers, fixes spacing and runs spoken commands.
  • Optional AI polish: Turn on a local LLM for grammar, self-corrections and smart formatting.
  • Flow Bar feedback: A visual indicator confirms when Notiqflow is listening.

Private by design

Notiqflow is built so your voice stays yours:

  • On-device transcription: Powered by NVIDIA's Parakeet and OpenAI's open-source Whisper.
  • No cloud uploads: Audio and text never leave your Mac.
  • No accounts: Nothing to sign in to, nothing to track.
  • Open source: Transparent and inspectable from top to bottom.

Free, and it stays that way

Notiqflow is $0 AUD, forever. No accounts or sign-in, and no per-use or subscription costs — now or later.
