TypeFree for macOS
Speak instead of type with reliable GPT-4o speech recognition, then keep cleanup, history, and your full personal vocabulary library on your Mac by default.
Cloud accuracy. Local writing memory.
Create a free account for 100 GPT-4o speech-recognition minutes each month. Standard and Pro add more Cloud time, larger dictionaries, Audio Import, custom prompts, and BYOK/self-hosted cleanup control.

Why you can trust this download
Signed and notarized by Bellarivia Limited (the legal entity behind TypeFree). macOS verifies the signature against Apple's notarization service before launch — if anything has been tampered with, your Mac refuses to open it. Updates ship via Sparkle, signed with EdDSA; older versions never auto-overwrite a newer one.
