Mac users, developers, writers, founders, consultants, and anyone who wants hands-free voice typing across desktop apps.
About Clavio
Clavio is hands-free dictation for Mac, built for people who write across different apps and need each context to behave differently. Speak with a held shortcut, a wake phrase, or Always On mode. Clavio places the resulting text at the cursor and can polish it using a writing style configured for the current app.
Each app profile can have its own tone, listening mode, pause timing, translation target, and optional action after the text is pasted. This makes it possible to keep client email professional, chat more casual, and prompts for coding assistants direct. Dictionary entries help with names and specialist vocabulary, while snippets expand spoken triggers into reusable text.
Clavio supports 28 dictation languages. It runs on Apple Silicon Macs with macOS 14.2 or later and is distributed as a signed, notarized Mac app. A free plan includes 3,000 polished words per month with no card required.
