From thought to destination
One shortcut for the writing between everything else.
Koe pastes into the active text field, so the workflow stays inside your mail app, browser, chat, notes, or document.
Messages
Capture the point quickly for chat, support replies, and project updates without polishing every sentence by hand.
Documents
Get the first draft of a note, outline, brief, or longer passage into the document while the thought is still moving.
Raw dictation
Keep the transcript untouched when exact wording matters. Transformations are a choice, not a hidden default.
No new writing surface
Hold, speak, release. The text goes where your cursor is.
Set a global shortcut and use it across Mac apps. Koe shows when it is ready and recording, then transcribes and pastes after you release.
- Custom dictionary for names and recurring terms
- Selectable transcription model and language
- Automatic paste with clipboard restoration controls


Choose what happens to the draft
Exact transcript when it matters. A cleaner draft when it helps.
Raw dictation preserves the transcript. Optional transformations can remove filler, format the result, translate it, or follow a prompt you configure.
Audio stays on your Mac. Works offline after the model download.
Audio goes directly from the app to the supported provider you configure. Koe is not in the request path.
Koe routes audio to the selected provider and manages transformations. No provider key setup is required. Pro is $9.99/month.
