About this tool

PeakFlow is AI dictation for Mac and Windows. Hold fn on a Mac or Right Ctrl on Windows (or pick your own key), say what you want and let go. It types it where your cursor is, in any app. It uses OpenAI's gpt-transcribe.

It's charged at cost. US$0.0057 a minute of talking, billed by the second, which is OpenAI's price plus card fees and the server. A sentence or two is about a tenth of a cent, so 50 dictations a workday is about $1.23 a month. Top ups are $5, $10 or $20 and the credit never expires. You can also use your own OpenAI key.

It removes ums and ahs, adds punctuation and handles "no wait" corrections without rewriting you. If the clean up drops a "not", a number or one of your saved words, it types your raw words instead. You can save names and terms so they're spelt your way.

You also get five desktop tools, free for 30 days. FocusDim dims everything except the window you're in. QuickBoard keeps your clipboard history. ScreenSlap puts your next meeting full screen with a join button. Liquid Focus is a Pomodoro timer. SnapGrid snaps windows into place.

Guarana (free): keep your Mac awake for 15 minutes up to 4 hours, or until you turn it off, from the menu bar. No trial or licence.
