Speak messy thoughts into polished text.

A Mac menu bar app for writing and skimming. Dictate into any app and get business-casual text at your cursor, or hear a short summary of anything you copy.

⌘⇧1

Voice → Text

Talk however you think. WhisperBar cleans grammar, punctuation, and structure, then copies or auto-pastes text into Slack, email, or your AI chat.

⌘⇧2

Text → Voice

Copy a doc, email thread, AI answer, or article. Hear a clear short summary so you understand it without reading every line.

WhisperBar Can you look at the checkout page and figure out why the coupon field is pushing the total down on mobile? Please fix the spacing without changing the desktop layout.

Business casual by default — clean enough to send, still direct enough to sound like you.

Skim without staring at another screen.

Copy text to your clipboard. Press the shortcut. WhisperBar summarizes it, converts it to natural speech, and plays it back. It doesn't read word by word — it understands the content and explains it to you.

Not another dictation app.

Made for AI workflows

Say the prompt out loud and paste it into Codex, ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Slack, or email without cleaning it up first.

Polished, not robotic

Voice-to-text output is business casual. Clean enough for email, natural enough that it still sounds like you.

Explains, doesn't read

Text-to-voice summarizes first, then speaks. Like a colleague explaining a doc to you, not a screen reader.

Mac first, iPhone nearby

The daily workflow lives in your menu bar. The iPhone app captures thoughts when you are away from your keyboard.

Capture away from your Mac. Polish when it matters.

Most WhisperBar work happens on Mac because that is where you write, reply, prompt, and paste. The iPhone app is the same subscription for the moments between those sessions: walking notes, quick ideas, names, follow-ups, and messages you want cleaned up before sending.
