Built for low-friction writing
BlitsTik gives you fast dictation without cloud dependencies, while keeping setup and releases practical.
Private
Local-Only Transcription
Audio stays on your Mac. BlitsTik uses whisper.cpp locally and does not upload recordings.
Hands-free
Auto Paste to Active Cursor
After transcription, BlitsTik returns focus to your previous app and pastes exactly where you were typing.
Reliable
Setup Guardrails
Built-in setup checks for model download, whisper runtime, microphone permissions, and accessibility permissions.
macOS
Menu Bar Native UX
Live status, quick controls, and last transcript in a lightweight popover with zero dashboard clutter.
