The Problem

Voice dictation shouldn't require the cloud

Every major voice-to-text service sends your audio to their servers. Your meetings, your notes, your private thoughts — all uploaded and processed remotely.

Lokál uses Apple's SFSpeechAnalyzer and on-device Foundation Models. Your audio never leaves your Mac. Not a single byte. And it works without an internet connection.
