SAY IT. DONE.
Hold a key and talk. Words to type appear at the cursor the moment you let go. Things to do, MaxTalk rewrites, answers, notes down and schedules.

TonyCan the release notes go out to the group today?
LisaDesigns are ready on my side 👍
we try to keep the service up pretty much all the time and if something breaks we jump on it, usually it's fixed in a few hours or so.
The availability target (SLA) is 99.9% per month; planned maintenance is announced 48 hours ahead.
Hold Fn to dictate
Hold the dictation key, talk, let go: the words land where the cursor is. No "thinking", no clicks.
TALK LESS, DO MORE
Typing should be instant; doing things should be right. MaxTalk gives each its own key, so neither slows the other down.
01 / TWO KEYS
The dictation key doesn't interpret: what you say goes straight to the cursor, in chats, browsers, documents and the terminal alike. The AI key works out what you mean: it answers, rewrites, saves ideas or gets things done.
02 / ON-DEVICE
Whisper recognizes speech on your Mac, accelerated by Apple silicon, so dictation works offline. Chinese, English and a mix of both, plus your own vocabulary for names and terms.
03 / GET IT DONE
Reminders, to-dos, events and email drafts; opening apps and System Settings; searching a site like GitHub or YouTube; running your Shortcuts; preparing a WeChat or Slack message. Anything that writes to another app waits for your nod.
04 / YOUR MODELS
Bring your own API key: requests go from your Mac straight to the provider you chose. MaxTalk has no servers of its own. Keys live in the macOS Keychain; history stays on your Mac.
MADE FOR YOUR DAY
/ 01
Someone asks in the group chat. Hold the dictation key and answer; the words go straight into the box, with fillers and self-corrections tidied up.
“Um… heads up, the launch moves to tomorrow afternoon, no wait, Thursday afternoon.”
/ 02
Select a paragraph that came out too casual, say the tone and length you want, then decide whether to replace it.
“Make it more formal, three sentences max.”
/ 03
Say it the moment it comes to mind: a reminder, an event, an app, a search, without stopping what you are doing.
“Review the new home page with design next Wednesday at 10.”
GOOD QUESTIONS
MaxTalk is still being polished. Give it a try.
The current preview is for Macs with Apple silicon (M-series chips) and needs macOS 13 or later. There is no Intel, Windows or iPhone version yet.
No. With the dictation key alone, Whisper recognizes speech on your Mac: no key and no network. For the AI key (answers, rewrites, actions) add your own key, for example OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeek, or a local model in Ollama.
With local Whisper your voice never leaves your Mac. With AI, requests go from your Mac straight to the provider you chose, not through MaxTalk (we have no servers). API keys are kept in the macOS Keychain and history stays on your Mac. See the privacy notes.
Microphone (to hear you), Accessibility (to type into text fields and read selected text) and Input Monitoring (to notice your talk key). Reminders and Calendar access is asked for only when you add one.
It never sends a message or email: drafts are prepared and you press send. Anything that writes to another app, such as reminders, events or running a shortcut, waits for your confirmation every time. There are no delete actions.
Not yet. This is a developer preview, signed with a development certificate and not yet notarized by Apple, so macOS may show a security prompt when you install it. The install guide walks you through it.
