FreeFlow is a free, open source dictation app for Mac that uses AI transcription and context-aware cleanup to turn speech into text, replacing paid alternatives like Whisper Flow and Superwhisper. You bring your own API key (Groq or compatible), so there's no subscription or data retention on FreeFlow's servers.
- Hold Fn to dictate or use customizable keyboard shortcuts; Edit Mode lets you highlight text and transform it with voice commands like "make this shorter"
- Context-aware cleanup reads your current app to spell names and terms correctly, with support for custom vocabulary and simpler post-processing if you prefer
- Works with any OpenAI-compatible provider (Groq, Ollama, LM Studio) and supports local models with configurable timeouts for slower hardware
FreeFlow is a free, open-source dictation app for Mac that transcribes speech and cleans up the output using AI, then pastes it directly into any text field. It works with Groq's API by default but lets you plug in any compatible transcription or LLM service.
- Transcription completes in under 1 second using Groq, with optional local model support despite higher latency
- Cleans up filler words and uses app context to spell names and technical terms correctly, with customizable vocabulary lists
- Fully open source under MIT license with no server component—all API calls stay between your Mac and your chosen provider
- Supports both hold-to-talk (Fn key) and tap-to-toggle (Command-Fn) modes, plus custom text-paste commands
