See how it works
01 / Built to disappear
Dictation should feel
like a native reflex.
Vorb stays out of your way. No meeting bots, no transcript dashboard, no new place to work. Just one shortcut between a thought and the cursor.
Keep it local
Run Whisper on Apple silicon when your audio should never leave the Mac.
Choose your model
Use Local Whisper, Groq, OpenAI, Deepgram, Mistral, or your own endpoint.
02 / Private by design
Your voice stays yours.
Choose Local Whisper and every recording is transcribed on your Mac. No account, no analytics, no telemetry, and no application backend.
- On-device transcription
- Credentials stored in Keychain
- Open source Swift code
03 / The flow
From thought to text.
Nothing in between.
