Mac menu bar dictation

Speak once. Paste clean text.

Recdr is a lightweight Mac app for private, local speech-to-text. Press a hotkey, capture your voice, and get a transcript ready for the clipboard.

Local transcription Global hotkey Built for macOS

Hotkey capture

Toggle recording from anywhere on your Mac, without opening a heavy transcription workspace or switching away from the thing you are writing.

Private by design

Speech recognition runs locally after setup. Raw audio stays on your Mac and is cleaned up automatically after a short retention window.

Clipboard first

Each finished recording becomes text you can paste immediately, with recent transcripts available when you need to grab something again.
