## Überblick

Doclin is a free, open-source macOS app that turns speech into text anywhere you can type, and speaks out progress updates from coding agents such as Codex and Claude Code. Processing is local by default, with optional cloud features you enable using your own API key.

## Preise und Tarife

Doclin is free and open source. There is no subscription and no Doclin account. Optional cloud features are off by default; if you enable them you supply your own OpenAI API key and pay that provider directly, while local dictation and local voices cost nothing.

## Hauptfunktionen und Fähigkeiten

- **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.
- **Transparent, inspectable privacy model:** No Doclin server, account, analytics or telemetry in the Mac app. Memory is cleared when the app exits, API keys live in the macOS Keychain, and the source is public.

## Wichtigste Anwendungsfälle

- **Follow long agent runs by ear (Developer working with AI agents):** Start a Codex or Claude Code task, step away from the screen, and let Doclin read the updates aloud so you know the moment something needs your input.
- **Draft text without breaking flow (Writer or note-taker):** Hold Right Command, dictate a paragraph into your document or notes app, and release to type it — all processed on the device.
- **Dictate sensitive material locally (Privacy-conscious professional):** Keep client names, internal notes or personal writing on the Mac by leaving cloud options off, with a documented data-flow page explaining exactly what would be sent if you turned them on.
- **Reduce typing in any app (Accessibility-focused user):** Insert text by voice into the focused field system-wide, including secure password fields excluded from inspection, and keep the clipboard clean with direct insertion.

## Stärken

- Completely free and open source, with public source you can audit
- Local-first design: no recording upload in the default mode
- Unusual dual purpose — dictation plus spoken AI agent updates for developers
- Cloud features are opt-in and use your own key rather than a Doclin account
- Clear, unusually detailed privacy documentation covering every data path
- No telemetry or account required in the Mac app

## Einschränkungen

- macOS only; there is no Windows, Linux, iOS or Android version
- Current release is a preview build and is not notarized, so setup needs manual steps
- Requires macOS 13 or later
- Cloud transcription, cleanup and premium voices depend on an external OpenAI key and cost
- In-memory history is limited to the last 30 dictations or agent updates and clears on exit

## Häufig gestellte Fragen

### Is Doclin still the code discussion tool it used to be?
No. The project has moved on, and the current Doclin is an open-source Mac dictation app with spoken coding-agent updates. The older real-time code commenting product is no longer what doclin.dev offers.

### Does Doclin upload my recordings?
Not in the default configuration. Local dictation uses Apple's on-device recognition and no recording or transcript is uploaded. Cloud transcription, cleanup and notification features are off until you enable them, and then data goes to OpenAI under your own key.

### How much does Doclin cost?
The app is free and open source, with no subscription or account. The only potential cost is external: if you switch on optional OpenAI-powered features, OpenAI bills your key directly.

### Which systems does it support?
Doclin is built for macOS 13 and later, delivered as a preview build that is not notarized. The site publishes installation help and the source code for anyone who wants to build or inspect it.

### Can Doclin read output from Codex and Claude Code?
Yes. It is designed to surface updates from Codex (desktop and CLI) and Claude Code, either locally as notification voices or, if you opt in, as OpenAI-generated summaries. Connecting Claude Code edits only Doclin's marked hooks and backs up your previous settings.

### Wie hoch sind der monatliche Traffic und der Wachstumstrend von Doclin?
Doclin erhält derzeit 0 monatliche Besuche bei einer Traffic-Veränderung von +0 (0 % Wachstumsrate) gegenüber dem Vormonat. Der wichtigste Quellmarkt ist Global (— Anteil), einschließlich 0 direkte Besuche/Monat und 0 organische Suchbesuche/Monat.
