The problem
Cloud AI made a quiet trade: your privacy for its convenience.
- Every dictation app you've tried streams your voice to someone else's servers.
- Every AI “agent” stalls the moment the work gets real — or lives trapped in one browser tab.
- And all of it needs your words to leave your machine to work at all.
Loudink does the opposite. The models run on your Mac. Your words never leave it. And it works in every app — because it just types, the way you do.
Two ways to use itSpeak. It writes — or it acts.
One shortcut. Hold it, talk, let go.

Write anywhere
Speak naturally — ramble, correct yourself, use jargon — and clean, formatted text lands exactly where your cursor is.
Notes — new note“moved the deadline to june thirtieth, budget is now twelve thousand dollars, looping in finance”
Moved the deadline to June 30. Budget is now $12,000. Finance is looped in.
Do things by voice
Describe a task and Loudink plans the steps and runs them — opening apps, navigating the web, filling things in. You approve; it executes.

100% on-deviceThe intelligence lives on your Mac — not on a server you're renting.
Speech recognition and the language model run on Apple silicon. Here's the whole path your voice takes:
Works on a plane.Once it's set up, turn off the network — dictation and the AI keep going. They were never using it.
Notarized by Apple. Every release is developer-signed and Gatekeeper-checked.
The model downloads once. ~3 GB up front — then it lives on your Mac for good, working with or without a connection.
Text appears as you speak. It streams into the field live and formats locally — no round-trip to a server.
Your account syncs just one number — a running count of how many monthly actions you've used. Never your audio, never your text.
Cloud AI vs Loudink
The whole difference is where everything runs.
Your audio Uploaded to a server Stays on your Mac Your text Sent to a provider Never leaves Who runs the model Their cloud Your Mac Works in every app One tab or an integration Every app Footprint A whole browser or a tab A menu-bar icon Even the best cloud AI has to ship your words to a server to think. Loudink runs the models on your Mac — so nothing ever leaves.
Built in the openShipped fast, signed, and notarized.
Made by an indie developer who uses it every day — and ships in the open, on a steady cadence you can watch.
