Diktix

Speak instead of typing.

The minimalist dictation app for your Mac: hold a key, speak, let go – the text appears wherever your cursor is. In any app, fully offline and free.

About Diktix

At Proplex we work with AI every day – and noticed that the bottleneck isn't the AI, it's typing. When you speak, you naturally give more context, and that is what makes a good prompt. So we built Diktix.

How it works: hold the Fn key (or your own hotkey), speak, let go. Diktix transcribes locally and inserts the text at your cursor – in Claude Code, Cursor, the terminal, your browser or mail.

Private by design: speech recognition (Whisper) runs right on your Apple silicon chip. No audio and no text leaves your Mac – no cloud, no account, no subscription.

Requirements: macOS 14 or later, a Mac with Apple silicon.

Guilty if it works.

Let's build something that works.

One short conversation is enough to know whether we're a fit. No obligation, honest, with a clear assessment.
