Say it once.
It’s already written.

Dictation that sounds like you. Meeting notes that write themselves. Stay in the conversation.

No key. No setup. It works the moment you install it.

Free while in beta · macOS 14+, Apple silicon and Intel

The settle

Hold a key. Speak. Let go. The words land where your cursor was, cleaned up and in the right tone for the app you're in. If they can't land, they're on the clipboard.

Meetings, noted

One tap when the call starts. No bot joins. Press End and the decisions, the actions and the loose ends are already written down.

It shows its work

Every model call is listed with what it cost. Every number says what it assumes. Nothing here asks for your faith.

The arithmetic

A paragraph, twice.

Same forty-two words. One typed, one said.

Typed

0s

Said

0s

Speaking time is measured. Typing is assumed at 40 words a minute, and you can change it. The app always says which is which.

Meetings

Be in the room,
not in your notes.

One tap when the meeting starts. SayLess listens through your Mac, so nobody sees a stranger join. Press End and the note is already there. Every line points at the words that made it. Ask it something next week and the answer shows its sources, or says it has none.

  • No bot on the call. There isn't one to see.
  • It records when you say so. The audio goes once the words exist.

Where it goes

Finished here.
Filed where you work.

Google Doc, Gmail draft, Slack, Notion, Linear, a file, the clipboard. In Markdown, plain text, Slack mrkdwn or email HTML. Pick where it goes and what shape it takes. You see what will be sent before it goes.

  • Gmail gets a draft, never a send. You read it first.
  • Drive access covers only files SayLess made. Nothing else you own.
  • The transcript is a separate switch. It's off.

Privacy is the architecture

Nothing to trust.
Everything to verify.

Configure nothing and nothing is sent. Apple's recognition and an on-device model do the work. Add a provider and the app names every route and every cost. Send a note to Slack and it goes to Slack. You are told first. The difference isn't that less leaves. It's that you can see what did.

Runs with no provider configured Recordings are deleted after transcription You choose what is sent, each time

The privacy page says all of it, plainly

The difference

It doesn't sound like AI.
It sounds like you.

Generic dictation gives everyone the same voice. SayLess learns yours. Sentence length, formality, the words only you use. Nothing joins the profile until you approve it, and you can correct or delete any of it.

Honest math.

Model costs

$0 for raw dictation

On-device transcription costs nothing. Polish and notes can call a model with your own key, billed by your provider, itemized per call. Sign in and a small weekly allowance works with no key.
