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. Not agentic.

14-day trial, no card · $2.99 forever after that · on-device · apple silicon · no subscription

01
HOLD
Your hotkey. In any app. You don't have to be in the app you're typing into. No tab tab.
02
SPEAK
A live overlay shows the transcript so you can read along. Your active window never moves. Your standup never knows.
03
RELEASE
Let go. The text gets cleaned up and typed into your chosen target app, quietly, in the background. No hallucinated semicolons.
focusless

Type into the app behind the app.

Other voice tools steal focus to type. HeyClanker doesn't. Game on one monitor, dictate into a terminal on the other. Write into Discord while Logic keeps playing. Your active window never changes. No alt-tab. No window dance. No context-switch tax.

on-device

Your voice never leaves your Mac.

Transcription runs locally via WhisperKit. Apple Intelligence handles cleanup. No cloud round-trips. No accounts. No telemetry. This session will not be used to improve our models, because there are no models, because there is no our. Bring your own API key only if you want to swap in something else.

yours

Every hotkey. Every target. Every trigger.

Map multiple hotkeys to different target apps. Define trigger words that fire key combos or inject text. Pre-speech automation. Post-speech automation. Real workflows, not one-shot dictations. Still not agentic.

$2.99

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

Try it free for 14 days. Then $2.99, once, forever. No subscription. No accounts. No starter tier. No pro tier. No enterprise sales call. Pay once, get a hotkey, get on with your day.
