Dictator

Dictator turns your voice into a command layer for macOS, combining dictation with app launching, project control, and workspace management. Key features: • Hold Right Option to dictate text into any app • Filler words removed and punctuation added automatically • Launch apps and open projects by voice • Organize apps and projects into named workspaces • Configurable commands for personalized control • Fully local processing with no cloud dependency • Free, open source, and MIT licensed. Dictator's dictation lands wherever your cursor is, whether that is Claude, Terminal, Gmail, or Slack. It cleans up speech as you talk, drops filler words, and learns names and terms from your corrections so it becomes more accurate over time. Hold a key, speak, and release to insert polished text instantly. Beyond dictation, Dictator lets you say what you want done. Naming an application opens it, and naming a project launches your coding assistant in that folder with your request ready to go. Workspaces group apps and projects so you can switch contexts by voice, click, or shortcut. Because the engine runs entirely on your Mac, your data and prompts never leave your machine. Built for developers, writers, and knowledge workers who want to keep their hands on the keyboard or step away from it entirely. Anyone who spends hours switching between apps and typing repetitive messages will benefit from hands-free control. Install it with a single command, download it from GitHub, and start shaping your own macOS command layer.
