Local-first
Audio and transcripts never leave your Mac.
Live todayWhy it works
Notion is a blank canvas. That's the problem. Penwright gives you a thinking partner that turns spoken thoughts into structured Notion blocks, bullets, headings, callouts, so the page is half-built before you start formatting.

In the wild
Three moments in Notion where Penwright pays for itself.
The quick reply
Press the hotkey, speak the reply, Penwright types it cleanly into the open Notion window. Three seconds instead of three minutes.
The long-form message
Three minutes of speaking turn into a structured Notion message, cleaned, with paragraphs, in the right tone. No typing cramp.
The recurring template
Save your Notion standard replies as snippets, expand them by voice. The local dictionary learns your names, companies, acronyms.
Day one: setting Penwright up for Notion.
- Install Penwright
macOS 13 or later. Grab the .dmg from the download page, drop it in Applications, open.
- Pick your hotkey
Default is ⌘⇧Space. If Spotlight is in the way, set a conflict-free shortcut right away.
- Seed your Notion dictionary
Drop in the names, companies, codenames that show up in your daily Notion threads. Penwright will get them right from day one.
- Dictate your first Notion message
Open Notion, click into a text field, hold the hotkey, speak. Release. The cleaned version lands in the field.
Frequently asked
- Does Penwright work in Notion?
- Yes. Penwright types wherever your cursor lands in a text field, including Notion. There's no separate Notion integration; Penwright uses macOS' standard text insertion.
- Are my Notion messages sent to the cloud?
- No. Transcription and cleanup run locally on your Mac (EuroLLM 1.7B with Metal). If you flip Settings → AI & Style to Claude or OpenAI, then yes, but only when you explicitly activate it, and a visible CLOUD badge stays on while it is.
- Does Penwright understand Notion-specific jargon?
- Decent out of the box, perfect with your own dictionary. Add company names, people names, codenames once in Settings. Penwright will type them correctly into Notion from that moment on.
- Do I need a fast internet connection?
- No. Once the models are installed, Penwright works offline. Ideal for travel, airports, long calls.
In Notion, typing is the real tax.
Three to four times faster with voice. The math gets uncomfortable fast.
