Private Mac dictation
Vox keeps your voice work local.
Dictate into any app, record a call without inviting a bot, and keep the transcript, notes, and follow-ups as Markdown on your Mac. Your data stays your data.
Why Vox exists
Better work tools should not require handing over the work.
I wanted one tool that helped me transcribe, take notes, and stay sharper at work while keeping my information on my computer. No bot in every meeting. No hosted workspace full of half-formed thoughts.
The bigger belief is that a lot of the best future work software will run locally, save to simple formats, and integrate cleanly with the agents people choose: Claude, OpenAI, local models, open-source tools, and whatever comes next.
What Vox does
Voice, meetings, and notes in one local loop.
Speak into any app
Use a global shortcut, dictate a thought, and put clean text exactly where you are already working.
Turn calls into records
Capture microphone and system audio locally, then keep transcripts, notes, and follow-ups on disk.
Build a local work memory
Your useful context becomes files you can search, edit, version, and hand to the tools you choose.
Private by architecture
The useful stuff stays where you can see it.
Audio stays on your Mac
Vox is not organized around uploading your voice, drafts, or rough thinking to a hosted workspace.
Markdown is the source of truth
The output is readable and portable. You can keep it in a folder, a repo, an editor, or your own workflow.
The server boundary is narrow
Billing, licenses, downloads, and account state live here. Your meeting content does not.
AI is a choice
Use on-device features, bring your own endpoint, or skip summaries entirely. Vox should fit your trust model.
