Yakki
Why we built this
Every dictation tool made us choose. Send your voice to the cloud for "smart" features, or accept clunky, outdated software that runs locally. Privacy or intelligence. Speed or security.
We refused to accept that trade-off.
Yakki was born from a simple observation: the gap between thinking and expressing has never been wider. Professionals lose hours to keyboards. Writers stare at blinking cursors while ideas fade. Therapists choose between presence and documentation.
We built the tool we wished existed—one that closes that gap without opening a door to surveillance.
What we believe
Privacy you control
Your voice never leaves your Mac—ever. You have total control: disable cloud features anytime and nothing leaves your device. We don't store your data, and we never send your voice anywhere.
Speed is respect
Sub-200ms latency because your thoughts deserve to be captured at the speed they arrive. Every millisecond of delay is a moment where ideas cool and flow breaks.
Intelligence without tracking
When we improve our AI, we never send identifiers or anything that can be connected to you. No third-party analytics. Just internal telemetry we built ourselves. Smart doesn't have to mean surveillance.
Flexibility, not lock-in
Cancel anytime with our 30-day money-back guarantee. Prefer to own your tools? Our lifetime license means pay once, use forever—including all future updates.
