Local dictation for macOS
Speak naturally.
Write beautifully.
Loqari types in every app without sending your voice to a server. Local dictation needs no account and no AI subscription. Optional post-processing can use an official AI client you already pay for — without copying API keys.

One habit, three moves
Less typing.
More thinking.
Keep your existing workflow. Loqari simply bridges your voice and the text field that already has focus.
-
01
Hold the shortcut
Start Loqari from any application.
-
02
Speak naturally
Your audio is transcribed directly on your computer.
-
03
Keep working
The text appears exactly where your cursor was.
Private by architecture
Your voice should belong to you.
Core transcription runs locally. Loqari does not need to upload your recordings to make speech become text.
AI transformations are optional. When enabled, only text is sent to the provider you selected — never your audio.
Beyond transcription
Your voice, shaped for the context.
A quick message should not sound like meeting notes. Choose a mode and let Loqari shape your thought for the task.
- 01Dictation modes
Raw, structured, concise, or custom.
- 02Personal memory
Your names, vocabulary, and writing style.
- 03Text actions
Rewrite or summarize a selection without switching tools.
The Loqari Pro difference
Already paying for AI?
Use it wherever you write.
Loqari can hand text cleanup to an official client already signed in on your Mac. No additional API key to buy, paste, or store.
- 01 Your audio remains local.
- 02 Only the text to transform is transmitted.
- 03 Credentials remain with the official client.

The test that actually matters
12 min · 3 dictations · your real work
Do not take our word for it.
Measure the text you keep.
Install Core without a card, dictate these three cases inside the app where you already write, then count the corrections. Good dictation should not merely recognize words — it should preserve your intent.
Run the free benchmark Apple Silicon · no account · no card-
01
The long thought
Explain a feature for 60 seconds, including pauses, hesitation and one new constraint at the end.
Watch: paragraphs, punctuation and preserved intent. -
02
Your real vocabulary
Dictate a message containing your usual project names, files, tools and technical terms.
Watch: manual corrections on the words that matter. -
03
The spoken correction
Start a request, say “no, rather…”, then reformulate naturally without starting over.
Watch: useful final text without losing the instruction. -
The verdict: how many seconds of editing before you trust the text enough to send it?
A free core. A Pro layer when it saves you time.
Start without a card.
Upgrade only after you feel the value.

Common questions
Before you talk to your Mac.
Is my voice sent over the internet?
No for local transcription. Optional AI transformations send only the selected text, never your audio.
Do I need an account or AI subscription?
No. Loqari Core works without either. An AI account is useful only when you voluntarily enable post-processing.
Why does macOS show a security warning?
The current Apple Silicon pilot is not yet notarized by Apple. We disclose that before download and never ask you to disable Gatekeeper.
What about Windows and Linux?
Loqari is designed for all three platforms. The public pilot starts on Apple Silicon Macs so we can focus support and quality.
