Works in every app

bee installs as a macOS input source, so dictation goes wherever your cursor is — your editor, your browser, Slack, your terminal. No floating window, no copy-paste.

Your voice never leaves your Mac

Fully on-device. No cloud, no account, no upload. Audio is transcribed locally and is never sent anywhere.

A model worth using

A high-quality, multilingual model (20+ languages) tuned for real-time dictation — purpose-built, not a thin wrapper around someone else’s weights.

Polished where it counts

Unplug your Studio Display mid-sentence and bee follows your mic. Choose 0.6B for speed or 1.7B for quality. The little things, done right.
