Your thoughts move faster than your fingers. Press a hotkey, talk, and clean text lands in whatever app you're in — anywhere on your Mac. Transcribed on your Mac by default — so even sensitive work stays private — or on Jot Cloud when you'd rather keep your machine light.
Works in every app you already use
Get ideas out of your head at the speed you speak — clean, ready-to-send text right where your cursor is, on your device by default.
Dictate client notes, contracts, and half-formed ideas without wondering who's listening: the local engines never send audio off your device and work fully offline. Privacy isn't a setting, it's the default. Jot Cloud, our cloud engine, is the other way to run: no multi-GB model download, no RAM pressure, fast on any hardware — opt-in, clearly labeled, and your audio is never stored on our servers.
Hold to push-to-talk, tap to toggle — your words paste straight into the focused app. No window-switching, no copy-paste round trip.
With the local engines, your words appear while you're still speaking and the final text lands right as you release the hotkey — no spinner, no waiting to see what it heard.
Fire off a quick reply or dictate a ten-minute memo — Auto picks the engine that fits each recording (Jot Local for snappy short phrases, Jot Local Pro for long-form accuracy), so each recording gets the right engine. Both run locally; Jot Cloud, our opt-in cloud engine (audio never stored on our servers), is the third option when you'd rather skip the model download and RAM.
Talk naturally — ums, false starts and all. Filler is stripped and punctuation fixed before the text lands, so you hit send instead of editing.
No meters, no per-minute caps — one simple $99/year plan covers both local engines, the optional Jot Cloud engine (fair use applies), and every supported platform.
Hold fn (or press ⌥ Space) from any app. The floating HUD appears instantly.
Speak naturally. A live waveform and partial text show WhisperJot keeping pace — on-device by default.
Let go and clean text is pasted right where your cursor was. Back to work in a blink.
Most dictation tools stream your microphone to a server whether you like it or not. WhisperJot ships with the cloud off: every recording is processed locally on Apple Silicon and then discarded. That's mode one of two — the cloud is a choice you make, never one made for you.
127.0.0.1.Read the full Privacy Policy for exactly what's collected and what stays on your device.
Not unless you tell it to. By default transcription runs on your machine using local
models, and the optional LLM text cleanup talks only to 127.0.0.1 — turn
your Wi-Fi off and dictation keeps working. The one exception is Jot Cloud, our optional
cloud engine: if you select it, your dictation audio is sent to whisperjot.com servers
for transcription and is never stored there.
To keep your computer light. The local engines download a speech model (Jot Local is about 2.3 GB) and use your machine's memory and Neural Engine while you dictate. Jot Cloud, our opt-in cloud engine, skips all of that — no model download, no RAM pressure — and transcribes fast on any hardware, which makes it a good fit for older or low-memory machines. The tradeoff, stated plainly: your dictation audio is sent to whisperjot.com, transcribed, and never stored there. You can switch between the two modes anytime.
Not yet. WhisperJot is a new product and keeps billing simple: no meters, cancel anytime, and your plan stays active for the full period you paid for. The browser demo shows exactly what the app does, and you're welcome to email a question before buying.
Yes, self-serve — open your account and manage billing through the Stripe portal. Cancelling stops the renewal; you keep access until the end of the period you already paid for.
macOS 14+ on Apple Silicon is the stable, reference platform. Windows is stable and ships alongside macOS; Linux builds are in beta. All are included in the same plan — see how that compares to other dictation apps.
Download WhisperJot and give your hands a break — your words appear faster than you can type them.
