Press a shortcut. Speak. Your words appear wherever you're typing.

Website · Download · Changelog · Buy Pro


TTP is a lightweight desktop app that turns speech into text — instantly, in any app. Hold a shortcut, speak, and your words are transcribed and pasted wherever your cursor is. No switching apps, no copy-pasting, just talk.

Free forever. No account required. Bring your own Groq API key.

Features

  • Lightning fast — Powered by Groq Whisper. Transcription in under 2 seconds.
  • Works everywhere — Paste into Slack, VS Code, Gmail, Notion, any app where you type.
  • AI polish — Automatically removes filler words, fixes grammar, cleans up your text.
  • Smart dictionary — Learns your names, jargon, and technical terms.
  • Mac + Windows — Native app, lives in your menu bar / system tray.
  • Privacy first — API keys and history stored locally. Nothing leaves your machine.
  • Auto updates — Updates install automatically in the background.

Trust & Security

TTP runs on your machine and handles your voice and your API keys, so we treat the security pipeline as a feature.

  • Signed + notarized macOS builds — every release is code-signed with an Apple Developer ID certificate and notarized through Apple's notary service before shipping.
  • Code-signed Windows installers.msi and NSIS -setup.exe artifacts are signed in CI when the Windows certificate is configured.
  • Minisign-verified auto-updates — the Tauri updater verifies every update payload against a minisign public key embedded in the app at install time; tampered updates are rejected.
  • OS keychain for API keys — your Groq API key lives in the macOS Keychain (and Windows Credential Manager on Windows), not in plaintext config files.
  • HMAC-signed local caches — the offline license cache and Pro usage counters are HMAC-signed with a per-machine secret stored in your OS keychain, so a license file forged on one machine won't be accepted on another.
  • Telemetry off by default — Sentry crash reporting and Aptabase usage analytics are opt-in only and disabled until you explicitly enable them in Settings.
  • Strict CSP, no remote webview content — the embedded webview only loads bundled assets; there's no external network reachable from the UI layer.
  • Third-party calls are listed in the privacy policy — Groq, Lemon Squeezy, GitHub (updater feed), Sentry, and Aptabase. No other network calls are made.

How It Works
