02 / What it does

Two tools. No friction.

01

Speak, don't type.

Dictate replies. On-device speech models transcribe many languages in real time.

03

One timeline.

Every message from all your apps.

04

Fully local.

No servers. No cloud. Messages and models all stay on your machine.

05

Smart commands.

"Reply, see you at 4." "Read unread messages from Sarah." Natural language shortcuts that work.

06

Desktop + mobile.

Available on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.

03 / How it works

A three-step ritual. Nothing more.

i.

Connect your accounts

Link all your accounts, from email to text messages to chat apps. Credentials stay encrypted on your device.

ii.

Plug in

Put in your earbuds. Push to talk. Timbre reads new messages to you from starred contacts, in a voice you choose.

iii.

Reply without looking

Dictate replies or pin the most important group chats for later. Your eyes never have to look at the screen.
