F8Dictate anywhere
Type at the speed of thought.
Hold F8 and speak, then choose Verbatim, Light, or Enhanced cleanup. Use on-device Whisper or a cloud speech provider; Enhanced can apply instructions for the active app.
- Verbatim, Light, and Enhanced modes
- Custom vocabulary and correction rules
- App-aware formatting for code, mail, chat, and lists
F9Ask AI
Answers beside your work.
Hold F9 to ask by voice, or press Ctrl+F9 to open the panel and ask about a selected screen or app window. Screenshot analysis needs a vision-capable model.
- Markdown, tables, code copy, KaTeX math
- Follow-up chat with local history
- Optional screenshot questions in F9 only
F10Transform text
Say the edit. Done.
Select any text, hold F10, say what you want — “make this formal”, “shorten”, “translate to German” — release and the selection is replaced in place. Undo works as normal.
- Tone, grammar, brevity, translation
- 26 app profiles, code-aware rules
- Garbage detection skips no-op rewrites

A free, open-source, voice-activated AI assistant for Windows. Hold a hotkey, speak, release — text appears at your cursor. F8 dictates, F9 asks AI, F10 transforms selected text.
Windows 10 or 11 64-bit, a microphone, and WebView2. Cloud keys are optional: use on-device Whisper for speech transcription and Ollama for local AI tasks without a cloud provider key.
They are stored in Windows Credential Manager under the Flunkey service — never in config files. Local Whisper and Ollama do not need cloud API keys.
Install it directly from Microsoft Store using the Get it from Microsoft Store button. The Store handles installation and updates; there is no website installer to unpack.
It's Windows-first, free, MIT open-source, and private by design: cloud keys are stored locally in Credential Manager, history stays in local app data, and local Whisper/Ollama options are available.
Yes — MIT-licensed, built with Tauri v2 + Rust and React 19. You only pay your own provider usage, if your provider bills you.
