Doclin

Open-source Mac dictation that also reads your coding agents aloud

Push-to-talk dictation anywhere

Hold Right Command, speak naturally, and release to insert text into the field you were already using — editors, browsers, terminals and chat boxes alike.

Local by default

The standard path uses Apple's on-device speech recognition and Kokoro/macOS voices, so your recordings and transcripts are not uploaded. Audio in local mode is never written to disk.

Spoken coding-agent updates

Hear progress from Codex (desktop and CLI) and Claude Code read aloud, so you can stay aware of a running task without watching the terminal.

Optional bring-your-own-key cloud features

OpenAI transcription, transcript cleanup, notification summaries and higher-quality notification voices are individually switchable and use your own API key.
