Write by talking, in any app
Press the shortcut and talk. The text lands in whatever field has focus, whether that's Slack, email or a doc.
Talk and the text shows up in any app with ⌘E. Record meetings with ⇧⌘E and get the transcript and a note. It all runs on your computer, with no internet needed.
Works where you already write
Pitch lives in your menu bar and works in any app. No switching windows.
Press the shortcut and talk. The text lands in whatever field has focus, whether that's Slack, email or a doc.
Pitch records your mic and your system audio. When the call ends, you get the transcript and a note with decisions and next steps.
The first time you open Pitch, it asks for the permissions it needs, downloads the voice model and tests your shortcuts. Below is the same screen you'll see in the app.
Microphone to listen, Accessibility to type in the app in focus. That's all Pitch asks for.
Transcription runs on your computer and works offline. Your audio never leaves the machine. AI for notes is optional: use a local model, your own API key, or turn it off.
Everything on your computer. Your mic and the call audio become a note without touching a server.
Optional AI. A local model, your own key, or none at all.
Your vocabulary. Names, acronyms and technical terms, spelled the right way.
History you control. Play back, transcribe again or delete, one at a time or in bulk.
Hidden from screen sharing. Pitch doesn't show up in screenshots, recordings or calls.
Speech to text and meeting notes usually mean two subscriptions per person. Pitch does both, costs nothing and transcribes on your computer.
Two fewer subscriptions. No monthly fee per person and no charge per transcribed minute.
1.5 hours back every week. You say about 3× more words per minute than you type.
Monthly plans of two popular speech-to-text and meeting-notes apps, at public prices in November 2026. Time to write 1,000 words a day, at ~40 words per minute typing and ~150 talking (Ruan et al., Stanford, 2016).
For teams that use Pitch together: many people, many meetings and a lot of spoken text in one place. If that sounds like your company, get in touch.
Voice-to-text apps don't record meetings, and meeting-notes apps don't type into other apps. Pitch does both, and transcribes on your computer.

Pitch isn't notarized by Apple yet. Move the app to Applications and run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Pitch.app in Terminal, or allow it in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
The installer isn't signed yet. Click “More info”, then “Run anyway”.
Download SHA256SUMS to the same folder and run shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.
A small update: you can now look for a new version yourself, like in other apps. If you're on 1.3.0 or newer, the sidebar pill offers it and installs it when you restart.
Pitch still checks by itself every hour; the button is for when you don't want to wait. An update it finds shows up in the sidebar pill, which downloads it and installs it when you restart, so a recording is never interrupted.

A small update so the next ones reach you faster: Pitch now looks for a new version every hour instead of every four. If you're on 1.3.0 or newer, the sidebar pill offers it and installs it when you restart.
Nothing changes in how dictation, recordings or notes work. The check downloads one small file from GitHub, so it doesn't slow anything down. You still choose when to restart, so an update never interrupts a recording.

A small update that makes it easy to tell us what you think: Pitch now has a feedback button, and setup links to the terms and the privacy policy. If you're on 1.3.0 or newer, the sidebar pill offers it and installs it when you restart.
Nothing changes in how dictation, recordings or notes work. The feedback board is now the one place for ideas and problems, so we can answer everyone in the same spot. The privacy policy spells out what Pitch sends: usage numbers and errors only, never your audio, transcripts or notes, and you can turn that off in Configurações › Geral.

Nothing changes in how Pitch works. This release checks that in-app updates reach everyone on 1.3.0. If you're on an older version, download this one by hand, and future updates will come on their own.

Didn't find your question? Send it, an idea or a problem on our feedback board.
Send feedbackNot unless you want it to. Transcription runs on a voice model downloaded to your computer and works offline. AI for notes is optional. It can run locally (Ollama, LM Studio) or with a cloud provider you pick, using your own key.
Only numbers and errors, never what you say or write. With statistics on, the app sends usage counts and times (dictations, words, duration), the errors that happen, which apps you dictate into, and your state and country, linked to the e-mail you enter when you first open the app. Audio, transcripts, notes and your keys are never sent, and your IP address isn't stored. To turn it off, go to Settings › General › Send usage statistics (Configurações › Geral › Enviar estatísticas de uso while the app is in Portuguese). Details in the Privacy Policy.
The current version runs on macOS with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) and on Windows 10 and 11, x64.
Yes. Since version 1.3.0, Pitch lets you know in the app when a new version is out and installs the update when you restart.
Pitch isn't notarized by Apple yet. Move the app to Applications and run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Pitch.app in Terminal, or allow it in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.

No. Pitch records system audio along with your microphone, so it hears Meet, Zoom, Teams or any other app with no one extra in the call.
Every release publishes a SHA256SUMS file. In the download folder, run shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS and check that your file shows as OK.
