Hold one key and speak. Reply to emails, search the web, control your Mac — without ever leaving the app you're in. No context switch. No copy-paste. Just flow.
The problem
Every time you switch to ChatGPT, copy text, paste context, wait, copy the response, switch back — you lose focus. Six steps, six interruptions. Whisperflow does it in one.
How it works
Other tools make you switch apps. Whisperflow works on top of whatever you're doing. No windows to open. No tabs to find. Three steps, zero interruptions.
Stay in whatever app you're using. Hold one key and speak naturally. Whisperflow works on top — you never leave.
Words drop right where your cursor is. No copy-paste, no app switch. Your flow stays unbroken.
"Reply to this email." "Search for flights." "Click Send." Whisperflow sees your screen and acts — while you stay exactly where you are.
See it in action
Whisperflow lives in your MacBook's notch — an overlay on top of whatever you're doing. No new window. No tab to find. It appears when you speak and vanishes when you're done.
A subtle glow in the notch. You're in your app, in your flow. Whisperflow waits silently.
What it can do
Dictate, email, translate, search, control your Mac — all from a single hotkey overlay. Your workflow stays uninterrupted. That's the flow.
Hold your hotkey and talk. Words appear right where your cursor is — in any app, any language. No dictation window, no copy-paste. You stay in your document, your email, your code. Unbroken flow.
I need to schedule a meeting with the design team for Thursday afternoon to discuss the new onboarding flow
You're reading an email. Say "reply to this." Whisperflow reads your screen, writes the response, and inserts it — all without you switching to ChatGPT or any other app. The reply appears right where you need it. You never leave Mail.
"Click Send on this email." You don't touch the mouse. Whisperflow sees your screen, finds the button, and clicks it. You stay in flow while your Mac does the clicking, scrolling, and typing for you.
"What's the weather in Berlin?" You don't open a browser. The answer appears right in your notch — live web search, instant results, zero context switch. You asked a question while writing code. Now you have the answer. Still in your editor.
"What's the weather in Berlin?"
Currently 8°C and cloudy in Berlin. Expected high of 12°C this afternoon with light rain around 3pm.
