Typing is overrated.
Just talk.
Tucky is voice to text for your whole Mac. Press a hotkey, speak, and polished text appears wherever your cursor is. We spend our days prompting AI now, and prompts don’t need perfect wording. They need your thinking, fast. Speaking is the fastest way to get it out.

How it builds up
It starts with voice to text. It ends with a memory of your work.
Each capture method feeds the next. First your voice replaces the keyboard. Then your meetings and screen recordings join in. Everything lands in one searchable place — and once it’s all there, Tucky can tell you what happened, what matters, and what to do next.

Step 1 · Voice to textExplore Capture & Record
Your voice is the new keyboard.
Voice to text is the fastest way to work with AI. You don’t need exact wording to prompt ChatGPT or Claude — you need the idea out of your head. Press a hotkey, speak naturally, and Tucky puts clean, polished text at your cursor in any app on your Mac.
1
Press the hotkey and speakDictate into ChatGPT, Claude, Slack, Gmail, VS Code — anywhere your cursor is.
2
Local AI cleans it upFiller words and false starts disappear. What lands is what you meant.

Step 2 · The trigger wordExplore Editor & Export
Say “echo” and your words format themselves.
Start a dictation with your trigger word and the AI takes instructions. Say “echo, format this as an email” and your stream of thought comes out as a clean email in your tone of voice. Formats, terminology, and the trigger word itself are fully customizable — and plain dictation stays instant, because AI only steps in when you call it.
1
Give it an instruction“Echo, format this as an email.” “Echo, turn this into bullet points.”
2
Keep your toneThe output is written the way you write, not like a template.
3
Make it yoursRename the trigger word, add your terminology, define your own formats.

Hi Sarah,
Quick heads-up: the sprint review has moved to Thursday at 3 pm. Could you update the calendar invite and double-check that the demo build is working?
Thanks!
Step 3 · Meetings
Live transcription and call guidance, while you’re on the call.
Tucky notices when you join a Zoom, Meet, or Teams call and records it if you want it to. You get a live transcript as the call happens. Set up a template for what a great call looks like — a sales call, a discovery call, an interview — and Tucky tracks what’s been covered and suggests the next question in real time. None of your ideas get missed.
1
Record any meetingZoom, Google Meet, and Teams are detected automatically. You choose per app: always record, ask first, or never.
2
Get coached liveUse live guides for prompts during the call and optional templates to review it afterward. AI suggestions can miss context.
3
Walk away with everythingTranscript, summary, decisions, and follow-ups flow straight into your work memory.
Step 4 · Screen recordings
Easier to show than to explain? Record your screen.
Record a narrated product demo, client walkthrough, or bug report. Edit the recording locally, then export it or upload it to Google Drive. Generate a transcript when you want to search the narration.
1
Hit record and talk it throughCapture your screen and your voice in one take.
2
Share with clients and teammatesSend the video instead of scheduling another call.
3
It’s rememberedGenerate the recording transcript before searching its spoken content.
Step 5 · One memoryExplore Understand & Organize
Everything you say, hear, and show — in one place.
Keep dictations, notes, tasks, and meeting transcripts in a searchable local library. Project tagging is optional and can be wrong when a capture lacks context. Name the project in a voice note and review its assignment.
1
Search every wordFull-text search across every note, meeting, and recording.
2
Organize with projectsChoose project tags yourself or enable automatic suggestions, then check the result.
3
Context that compoundsInclude the project name and useful context when you capture an idea.
Step 6 · Put it to workExplore Platform & System
Recaps, answers, and an honest look at your week.
Ask questions about your saved work and inspect the sources behind each answer. Optional daily recaps are still being improved. For deeper prompt or workflow reviews, export notes or connect a compatible AI tool through MCP; that tool performs its own analysis.

Sales and discovery calls
Customizable meeting guides, post-call feedback, and structured notes to review and export to your sales tools.
Client walkthroughs
Screen record proposals, demos, and handoffs instead of scheduling another meeting.
Back-to-back meeting days

Keep your computer awake by voice
Tucky recognises the command and keeps your computer awake for the requested duration. Use it while a long-running command finishes or a queue of AI prompts works through its next steps.
Press your usual dictation hotkey and say:
“Echo, keep my computer awake for two hours.”Privacy
Your work stays yours.
No cloud backend. No account. No data sold. Dictation, recordings, transcripts, and project context stay under your control on your Mac.
Recording follows your choices
Dictation uses your hotkey. For supported meeting apps, choose always record, ask first, or never. Screen recording starts when you launch it.
Works fully offline
Core transcription and local AI work offline after model downloads. Google Drive uploads, downloads, updates, and external AI services need a connection.
No account required
Core app features need no Tucky account. Optional Google Drive sharing requires connecting your Google account.
Your data, your folder
Notes live in a SQLite file on your Mac. Export it, back it up, or delete it — full control, always.
