You think faster than you type.

So stop typing. Hold one key, talk, and Loqui writes it down for you, cleaned up, in whatever app you’re in. It runs on your Mac, not someone’s cloud.

hold the 🌐 globe key · no subscription · no cloud · works on a plane
First time you open it, macOS shows a warning. Here’s why.

macOS will say it “could not verify Loqui is free of malware.” That’s not because anything’s wrong, it’s because Loqui isn’t notarized yet (that needs a paid Apple developer account, which we’ll add once more people are using it). The app is the same either way.

To open it the first time:

  1. Open the DMG and drag Loqui into Applications.
  2. Try to open it once (you’ll get the warning). Click Done, not Move to Bin.
  3. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down, and click Open Anyway next to the Loqui message.

Your audio stays put. It never leaves your Mac. Not once.
Native, not Electron. Sits at ~0% CPU until you talk.
Works offline. On a plane, on the subway, anywhere.

Typing is the bottleneck

Your mouth is faster than your hands. Hold the globe key, talk, and the text shows up wherever you were already typing.

Nothing leaves your Mac

Transcription happens on your machine. No uploads, no screenshots of your screen, no account to make. It works on a plane.

It reads the room

Casual in Slack, buttoned-up in Mail. It checks which app you're in to set the tone, and nothing else.

Three steps. That’s it.

From the thought in your head to text on the screen in about three seconds. Nothing to open, nothing to fix after.

01

Hold the globe key

Press and hold it from any app. No window to open, no mode to switch into.

02

Just talk

Say what you mean. Loqui listens on your Mac with Whisper while you do.

03

Let go

Clean text drops in at your cursor. The ums and false starts are already gone.

The cloud apps want your audio. We don’t.
