InkIt - just ink it

InkIt.mp4
Download for macOS

Powered by Ink-2 Speech to Text from Cartesia.

Features

  • Get hours back every week. You talk 3× faster than you type. Start talking, stop typing.
  • Heard right the first time. Stays accurate when you're whispering or talking over background noise, so there's less to fix.
  • Nail your own vocabulary. Add names, jargon, and custom spellings to your dictionary, and InkIt gets them right every time.
  • Use it in every app you already live in. Editor, browser, chat, terminal: your words land right at the cursor, no copy-paste.
  • Talk your way. Hold a key to dictate, or go fully hands-free. Set whatever shortcut feels natural.
  • No ums, no filler. Polish tidies your speech and punctuation automatically, without rewriting your words.
  • Never lose a thought. Every dictation is saved and searchable, with insights into how much you dictate and where.
  • Make it yours. Light or dark, your mic, your shortcut. Tune it to how you work.

Setup

  1. Download via the button above and move InkIt to your Applications folder.
  2. Launch InkIt. Go through a quick onboarding to set up Microphone and Accessibility access.
  3. Grab a free Cartesia API key, good for about 15,000 words a month.
  4. (Optional) Turn on Polish with your own key from Groq, Google Gemini, OpenAI, or Anthropic.

For developers

InkIt is open source but not open contribution.

Fork and modify it for your own use. Pull requests aren't guaranteed a review: see CONTRIBUTING.md. Bug reports and feedback go here.

Build from source (Xcode 15+ and XcodeGen)
brew install xcodegen
xcodegen generate
open InkIt.xcodeproj

Install the build:

cp -R build/Build/Products/Release/InkIt.app /Applications/

Changes only take effect after you replace /Applications/InkIt.app. Rebuilding alone isn't enough.
