Talkie records what you say, turns it into text, and puts the text where you want it — a file you own, or straight into whatever you are typing in. It keeps your writing as plain Markdown on your own disk, because your writing should outlive the app.
No session limit, nothing interrupting you mid-thought, and the model is yours to choose. You bring your own key and pay the endpoint directly, so there is no markup on top.

The iPhone app is in beta by invitation while it is tested. If you would like in, ask on the support tracker.
Talkie is early. It records, transcribes, shapes and saves — that part works, every day. Around it you will find rough edges: layouts that do not use the room well at some window sizes, and screens that have had less attention than the ones you will use most. New versions are coming, and the fastest way to shape them is to say what you hit. Open an issue — bugs, confusions and "why does it do that" are all welcome.
No session cap and no cut-off mid-sentence. A long recording is a long recording.
Press a key, talk, press it again. No prompts, no confirmations, no attention taken while you are thinking.
Talkie is a client, not a service. You choose the endpoint and the model, you pay whoever runs it, and Talkie takes nothing in between. There is no Talkie account and no Talkie server. The privacy policy spells out what that means.
Every transcript is written as Markdown in a folder you pick, readable without Talkie and yours if you ever stop using it. On macOS it can paste straight into whatever you are working in.
The macOS app is signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarised, so it opens without a warning on a machine that has never seen it before. Drag it to Applications and open it. On first run it asks for a key and nothing else.
