Native Mac app
A dictation app built for the Mac.
Enzo is a dictation app built natively for the Mac. It lives in the notch, transcribes on your Mac, and turns your voice into text in any app. Free to start.
Built for the Mac, not ported to it.
Plenty of voice-to-text tools run the same cross-platform code on every OS. They work, but they never quite feel like a Mac app. Enzo is written in SwiftUI, and the recording indicator lives in your Mac’s notch, animating in place when you start. Dictation feels like a system feature, not a separate program you switch to. It’s a small thing, and it’s most of why people say Enzo disappears into the way they already work.
It lives in the notch
The recording indicator sits in your Mac’s notch and breathes while it listens. No floating window, no dock icon to hunt for.
On-device, always
Your voice is transcribed on your Mac and never uploaded. It works on a plane, in a locked room, anywhere offline.
Dictate anywhere
Press a key, talk, and the words land at your cursor in any app: Mail, Slack, Notes, your editor.
Meetings too
Record a call and Enzo writes the transcript with each voice separated and labeled. No bot joins the meeting.
Free stays useful
Keep unlimited dictation, meeting recording and speaker labels free with no time limit, or add all your history, Medium and High effort with Plus for $10 a month.
Tuned for Apple Silicon
Built for M-series chips, so it’s quick and barely touches your battery.
Native, in practice.
Press a key, talk, and the text lands in whatever app is in front of you.

If you’ve tried the alternatives
Built-in macOS Dictation
Free and already there, and fine for a quick sentence. But it keeps no history, does nothing for meetings, and on older Macs and unsupported languages it leans on Apple’s servers. Enzo runs fully on your Mac every time, keeps a searchable record, and adds meetings.
A cross-platform app
Works on any OS, but it never feels native. Enzo is built for the Mac, and its dictation is free.
A GitHub script
Free and local if you’re happy in the terminal and don’t mind rough edges. Enzo is the same idea, finished: one-click install, lives in the notch, and kept up to date.
Questions, answered.
Is Enzo actually native, or another cross-platform app?
Enzo is built in SwiftUI as a real Mac app. No web view, no cross-platform wrapper. The recording indicator lives in your notch and behaves like a system feature.
How is it different from built-in macOS Dictation?
macOS Dictation is fine for short bursts, but it keeps no history, has nothing for meetings, and falls back to Apple’s servers for some languages and older Macs. Enzo transcribes on your Mac every time, keeps a searchable history, and records meetings with speaker labels.
Does my voice stay on my Mac?
Yes. Every word is transcribed on your Mac and your audio is never uploaded, so dictation works offline after the first download. Enzo’s AI gets only what a request needs, like the text for a Chat answer or meeting notes.
Is there a subscription?
Only if you want more. Free has no time limit and includes unlimited dictation, meeting recording, speaker labels and notes after your meetings. Plus ($10 a month, with a 14-day free trial) and Pro ($20) add more AI, answers from all your history and replies sent from Enzo. Cancel anytime.
