Runs on your Mac
Whisper and NVIDIA Parakeet run locally on Apple Silicon. There is no server to reach and no API key to paste. Your voice never leaves the Mac.
Press a shortcut and talk. Sonari pastes clean, punctuated text into whatever app you're in, and it all runs on your Mac. Your voice never leaves it.
Whisper and NVIDIA Parakeet run locally on Apple Silicon. There is no server to reach and no API key to paste. Your voice never leaves the Mac.
One shortcut works everywhere. The text lands where your cursor already is, whether that's Mail, Slack, your editor, or a terminal.
Parakeet is fast and accurate for English. WhisperKit is lighter if you want a smaller model. Download one, switch whenever.
Add the names, jargon, and acronyms the model keeps getting wrong. It fixes them the same way every time.
Clean up a transcript, turn it into an email, or make it a list. Apple Intelligence does the rewrite on your Mac (macOS 26). No cloud key, and no fallback to one.
Every dictation is saved on your Mac with its audio. Search it, play it back, or re-transcribe it later with a sharper model.
Recording, transcription, and the AI rewrites all happen on your Mac. There's no cloud to opt out of. No account, no API key, nothing to paste in. And if Apple Intelligence isn't available, Sonari inserts your transcript unchanged. It never falls back to a server.
The default is ⌘⇧Space; change it to anything. Tap to start and stop, or hold to talk and release when you're done.
A floating pill shows a live waveform while it listens. Recording and transcription both happen on your Mac.
Clean, punctuated text is pasted into the app you were already in. No window to switch to, nothing to copy.
It runs on your Mac, and nothing leaves it. One-time purchase, never a subscription.
