Works in any app you type in: Notion, WhatsApp, Slack, and everywhere else. No switching, no copy-pasting. Smart QWERTY keyboard. Autocorrect fixes typos as you type and splits run-together words.

Turn natural speech into polished text, edit or rewrite by voice, translate on the fly. Select text and dictate what to change. Free trial included. On-device mode: runs locally on your iPhone with no internet needed. Audio never leaves your device. Self-hosted: run your own speech recognition server. Your network, your data, your models. Pairing is a scan: your server prints a QR code, you point the app at it, and keys rotate themselves after that. Writing Tools works there too, free, because it is your hardware.
