HEY! CLANKER! OVER THERE!

Voice dictation for macOS that types into an app you're not using. Hold a key, speak, release. The text lands in your target app. Your focus never moves. It's a button and a microphone, behaving like a button and a microphone. Revolutionary, we know.

01
HOLD
Press your hotkey from inside whatever app you're already in. You don't have to be in the app you're typing into. The cursor is already halfway to wherever you're pointing.
02
SPEAK
Say it. A small overlay shows what it heard, in case the clanker gets creative with the word commit. Your active window stays put. Your standup stays oblivious.
03
RELEASE
Let go. The transcript gets tidied up and placed in your target app, the way a good waiter sets down a plate — quietly, correctly, and without small talk.
focusless

Type into the app behind the app.

Other voice tools yank focus the moment you start talking, like a Slack notification raised on cortisol. HeyClanker stays put. Game on one monitor and dictate into a terminal on the other. Write in Discord while Logic keeps playing. Your active window doesn't budge. Apparently the radical idea of not interrupting you has become a selling point.

on-device

Your voice never leaves your Mac.

Transcription runs locally via WhisperKit. Apple Intelligence cleans it up, also on-device. There's no backend, no dashboard, no line buried in a privacy policy about retaining transcripts for “quality and training purposes.” If anything ever leaves your Mac it's because you handed it an API key yourself, at which point you have explicitly consented to being part of the problem.

yours

Every hotkey. Every target. Every trigger.

Multiple hotkeys, each pointing at a different target app. Trigger words that fire key combos or drop in canned text. Automation before you speak, after you speak, or both. Workflows you wired up on purpose — not ones a clanker vibe-coded into existence because you told it to just figure it out, bro.

$2.99

$2.99. Because nobody pays $20/month for a clanker.

14 days free. Then $2.99. Once. Forever. There is exactly one tier, because the people buying this have work to do. The CSM you were supposed to get is named Tyler. Tyler has been reassigned to a Series C agent startup with a valuation that also doesn't make sense.

acquire clanker.

14 days free, then $2.99 once. if it doesn't earn a hotkey on your keyboard, drag it to the trash. we part as friends and there's no exit survey, because we're not trying to learn from you.
