SayMo

Dictation that never leaves your Mac. Hold a key, say the thing — the text lands where your cursor already is. Recognition runs on your machine: no upload, no account, no subscription.

This is the real SayMo interface running in your browser, not a mockup — point at it, click the white pill, open the sheets. Switch Pro ↔ Lite to see what each edition carries.

Two editions, one glass

Speak straight into Notion: pick the page, say the thing
Capture to note — finished text filed away, nothing pasted
Rescues takes that never got transcribed

Music controls right on the island
One-click second screen for your iPad — set its side or mirror it
Claude Code and Codex approvals at the notch — allow, decline, redirect or answer their questions

Pro is still in development. It’s the hammer I use every day: it hasn’t had its visual design pass yet, but it already works exactly the way I need. The first 1,000 people who buy Pro get every future update free.

Approvals at the notch

SayMo Pro panel hanging from the top of the screen with two requests: Claude Code wants to build the app and run the tests, Codex wants to run the test suite. Each card offers Allow once, Decline, and No, and tell Claude what to do instead. — When Claude Code or Codex needs a yes, the request drops from the top of the screen: allow once, decline, don’t ask again in this project, or tell the agent what to do instead. Agent questions are answered right here too, and several chats line up side by side.

How it feels

The island wakes under your cursor
