Penwright
Features

Everything you need to stop typing for good.

It starts with dictation and does not stop there. Cleanup, meetings, screen capture and recall all run on the same local models on your Mac.

Speak anywhere

Talk into any Mac app and get finished text

Press the shortcut in Mail, Slack, Notion, Cursor or a form field on a website. Penwright transcribes what you said, cleans it up, and types it where your cursor is.

Sound like you

Speech turned into writing, not a transcript

People do not speak in finished sentences. A local model removes the ums, the repeats and the false starts, then punctuates what is left the way you would have typed it.

Capture every conversation

Minutes written before you leave the room

Record the room or the call, and get decisions, commitments, open questions and action items written up. The audio is transcribed and summarised on your Mac and never leaves it.

Capture everything

Show it instead of describing it

Screenshots, screen recordings and camera clips, taken with a hotkey and narrated with your voice. Files land in your own folder, and a recording can come back out as a written brief.

Recall and act

Your workday, findable and billable

Ideas, answers, secrets, clients and hours, all captured by voice and filed on your Mac. Ask for any of it weeks later, without handing your history to a server.

No model menu. No quality paywall.

Dictation always runs on a fast 4B model so text lands instantly. For minutes and summaries, Penwright quietly installs the strongest model your Mac's memory can hold and uses it automatically. Nothing to configure, nothing extra to pay.

Roadmap

What comes next.

Built local-first, which means the roadmap compounds: every new capability inherits the same privacy architecture. In the order we expect to ship:

  1. 1

    Cross-language dictation. Speak in German, insert polished English, or the reverse.

  2. 2

    Whole-thread replies. Select an email thread, say what your answer should say, get a draft that addresses every open question.

  3. 3

    Multi-step voice commands. One sentence, several actions: calendar, reminder and draft in one go.

  4. 4

    Code edits by voice. Select a function, say the change.

Put your voice to work.

Join the launch waitlist for the Mac app on day one and a 30-day full trial. €9/month after that.
