Who built this

How I stopped paying $180 a year to dictate.

I write 6 hours a day. My keyboard was begging for retirement.

I was paying Wispr Flow $180 a year for the privilege. Worse, my voice was leaving my Mac to a server I did not own. The price was insulting. The privacy was non-existent.

So one weekend I forked an open source Whisper wrapper, locked the audio inside macOS, added voice translation as a bonus, and shipped Scrybapp 2 weeks later.

Press Spaceanywhere on your Mac. Speak. Text appears. 99+ languages, auto-detected. Speak French, write in English. Or any other combo. All on-device, no internet required.

One French dev. No team. No investor backing. Just dictation that will not bleed your wallet or your privacy.

Frequently asked questions

No. All speech-to-text processing happens 100% locally on your Mac using OpenAI's Whisper AI model. Your audio is processed in RAM and never written to disk, sent to any server, or stored anywhere. Unlike cloud-based dictation tools like Otter.ai or Google's speech recognition, Scrybapp requires no internet connection at all. This makes it ideal for confidential work, medical dictation, legal documents, and anyone who values privacy.

Everything, unlimited transcriptions, access to all Whisper AI models (tiny, base, small, medium, large) plus NVIDIA Parakeet, lifetime updates, priority email support, and up to 3 device activations. There are no hidden fees, no subscription, and no usage limits. You pay once and own it forever. Every future update and new feature is included at no extra cost.

Scrybapp uses OpenAI's Whisper AI, which achieves 95-99% accuracy across 99+ languages, significantly higher than Apple's built-in dictation. Whisper AI also handles accents, technical jargon, medical terminology, and noisy environments much better. Plus, Scrybapp automatically removes filler words like 'uh', 'um', and 'like' that Apple Dictation leaves in.

Yes, 100%. Scrybapp runs entirely on your Mac with no internet connection required. The Whisper AI model is downloaded once during setup and runs locally using your Mac's processor. You can dictate on an airplane, in a coffee shop without WiFi, or anywhere else. This is a major advantage over cloud-based alternatives like Wispr Flow or Otter.ai.

Scrybapp supports 99+ languages thanks to OpenAI's Whisper model, including English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian, and many more. The app auto-detects which language you're speaking, no need to manually switch. You can even switch languages mid-sentence.

Your lifetime license key works on up to 3 Macs. This covers your work laptop, personal Mac, and a desktop. If you need to transfer an activation to a new device, contact us and we'll help you reset it.

Yes. Scrybapp works in any application where you can type, Gmail, Slack, Notion, VS Code, Cursor, WhatsApp, Discord, Terminal, Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Obsidian, and hundreds more. Simply press ⌥ Space, speak, and the text appears wherever your cursor is. No plugins or integrations needed.

The biggest difference is pricing: Scrybapp costs $19 once (launch price, $59 after) for a true lifetime license while Wispr Flow charges $15/month ($180/year) and SuperWhisper $8.49/month. Over 2 years with Wispr, you'd pay $360, with Scrybapp, $19. Forever. All three use Whisper AI for transcription, but Scrybapp is the only one running 100% on-device. See our detailed comparisons at /vs/wispr-flow and /vs/superwhisper.

Yes. Every purchase comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee per our Terms of Service. If Scrybapp doesn't fit your workflow within 14 days, email matt@scrybapp.com and we'll refund you in full.

Contact us at support@scrybapp.com and we'll resend your license key to the email address used during purchase. We keep a secure record of all purchases so you'll never permanently lose access.

Head to scrybapp.com/install, you'll find the latest version for both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Activate with the license key we emailed you after checkout. Lost your key? Email matt@scrybapp.com with the address you used at purchase and we'll resend it.

Scrybapp requires macOS 12 (Monterey) or later. Both Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and Intel Macs are supported. Apple Silicon delivers the fastest transcription thanks to the Neural Engine, but Whisper AI runs well on Intel too via Metal acceleration on the GPU. Pick the right binary on the download page, we serve both architectures.

Absolutely. Because all processing happens locally on your device with no cloud involvement, Scrybapp is ideal for privacy-sensitive fields like healthcare and law. Your patient records, legal briefs, and confidential documents never leave your Mac. While Scrybapp is not formally HIPAA-certified, the fully local architecture means there's no data transmission risk.

Yes! Scrybapp can translate your voice in real-time. Speak in French and get English text, speak in Japanese and get Spanish text, any combination of 99+ languages. The translation happens locally on your Mac using Whisper AI, with no internet required. It's perfect for non-native speakers who think in one language but need to write in another.

Whisper AI's translation is remarkably accurate for natural speech. It handles idioms, context, and technical vocabulary well. For best results, use the medium or large Whisper model. The translation produces natural, fluent text in the target language, not word-for-word literal translation. This is exactly what you want for emails, social media replies, and professional documents.
