How it works

Three steps. Zero friction.

No menus, no modes, no configuration wizards. Just press, speak, done.

01

Press hotkey

Tap a global shortcut from anywhere on your Mac. No need to switch windows or apps.

Fn
02

Speak naturally

Talk like a human, not a robot. Say "um" and "like" all you want — we strip fillers automatically.

03

Text appears instantly

Clean, punctuated text lands in your clipboard and gets pasted into the active app. Done.

Features

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Built for people who type all day and wish they didn't have to.

Meeting Intelligence

Record the meeting.
Let AI do the notes.

liltype detects when you're in a call, records the audio, and gives you a full transcript. Then your AI tools turn it into summaries, action items, and decisions — automatically.

  • Auto-record any meeting — Zoom, Teams, Slack huddles
  • Full searchable transcript saved as a .liltype file
  • Summarize with Claude, extract action items, identify decisions
  • Process hours of meetings in seconds with your own AI tools

Privacy

Your voice. Your machine.
No exceptions.

We built liltype so your audio never has to leave your Mac.

Local Processing

All audio is processed on your Mac’s Apple Neural Engine using Whisper. No server round-trips. No cloud dependency. Works in airplane mode.

BYO API Keys

When you choose to use cloud models (for AI pipes or cloud STT), you bring your own API keys. We never see, store, or proxy them.

Daily Cost Cap

Set a hard daily spending limit for cloud API usage. liltype will switch back to local processing when you hit it. No surprise bills.
