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
