notype uses Apple's on-device speech recognition stack, accelerated by the Neural Engine on every Apple Silicon Mac (M1 through M4). Hold your trigger key, speak naturally, and the transcribed text lands exactly where your cursor was — in any app, any text field. There is no audio sent to a server, no account to create, and no per-month fee. You buy it once and it's yours.

Voice typing, answered.
Does notype work on Intel Macs?
No. notype's on-device speech engine is built on Apple's Neural Engine, which is only available on Apple Silicon (M1 and later). Intel Macs are not supported.
How does the license work?
notype is a one-time purchase — you pay once and own it on up to 1 Mac. There are no subscription fees, no annual renewals, and no feature tiers. Future updates to the version you bought are included.
Can I use notype on more than one Mac?
Each license covers 1 activation. If you need notype on an additional Mac, a second license is required. You can deactivate your current Mac from your dashboard to transfer the license.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes — nosub offers a 30-day no-questions refund. Visit nosub.dev/refunds or reply to your purchase receipt to request one.
Does notype send my voice or text to the cloud?
No. Transcription runs entirely on your Mac using Apple's on-device speech framework. No audio, no transcripts, and no usage data ever leave your machine.
Priced like it matters.
One-time. No tiers. No “starter plan.” No annual renewal.
That’s the whole pricing page.
I built this because I needed it — voice typing that stays on my machine and works in every app. When you email support, that email comes to me.
30-day refund, no questions asked. See /refunds.
