Freeway
Freeway is a free, privacy-first voice-to-text app for Mac that lets you turn speech into text anywhere you're typing. Just press a hotkey, start talking, and Freeway transcribes your speech in real time. When you release the key, the text is automatically inserted exactly where your cursor is — in any app, any website, any text field. No switching windows, no copy-paste, no interruptions to your flow. Speaking is up to 4× faster than typing, which means ideas move from your mind to the screen at the speed they appear. Whether you're writing emails, messages, notes, documents, or forms, Freeway removes friction and keeps you in motion.

Streva
Streva is an AI-powered dictation, translation, and text transformation tool for macOS that delivers instant translation anywhere your cursor lives. Speak in any language, and Streva turns your words into natural, formatted writing directly inside the apps you already use, with no copy-paste, no disruption, and no context switching. It is built for people who work across languages, teams, and time zones, helping them stop rewriting what they already said out loud. Whether composing an email, replying on Slack, drafting meeting notes, writing in Notion, summarizing in Claude, messaging in iMessage, updating tasks in Todoist, or polishing text in ChatGPT, Streva adapts to the app and context so the result fits the moment. Its intent-driven translation and transcription understand tone, intent, nuance, jargon, and real-time context, turning rough speech into clear writing, such as transforming a casual spoken reply into a polished professional message.

mrmr
mrmr is a voice-first AI agent for Mac. Press one shortcut and talk, and it takes real action across the apps you already work in. This is speech-to-action, not speech-to-text.
Ask it to create a Linear ticket, post the link in a Slack channel, and add a calendar follow-up, and it does all three in one conversation. mrmr chains multi-step workflows, resolves your channels, teammates, and projects automatically, and confirms anything before it sends or changes it.
It connects to Slack, Linear, Google Calendar, Google Tasks, Google Meet, Zoom, Notion, Gmail, Cal.com, Calendly, Attio, and GitHub through real app APIs, plus Apple Reminders. It also searches your Mac files and browser history, runs cited web search, runs your own scripts by voice, and delegates to background sub-agents.
mrmr also handles fast dictation in around 60 languages, but the focus is doing, not typing. A voice-first alternative to Siri, Wispr Flow, and Superwhisper. Currently in private beta.
