How it works
AI Dictation
Speak to write
Press your hotkey and talk. Epilude transcribes what you say and cleans it up into formatted text, instantly.
Works in every app
Dictate into any app on your Mac. Epilude drops polished text wherever your cursor is, from your inbox to your editor.
Fully private and local
Turn on Local Mode and EP-1 runs on your Mac. Your voice and text are never sent to the cloud.
Notetaker
YouSKTR
23:14
No bot in the call
Epilude records from your Mac instead of joining the meeting. Zoom, Meet, Teams, or a conversation across the table.
Notes that write themselves
When the meeting ends, you get a clean transcript, a summary you can edit, and action items with owners and due dates.
Markdown files you own
Every meeting saves as a Markdown file on your Mac. Open it in any editor, search it in Epilude, or export a PDF.
Speaking to your Mac should be the fastest way to get work done.
Most of us still spend our days tapping thoughts into a keyboard, one letter at a time, even though we can often say them much faster.
And in meetings, we talk through problems, make decisions, assign actions, and agree on what happens next.
Then the call ends.
The notes don’t get written. The decisions get forgotten. The actions disappear.
It shouldn’t be this way.
AI can now turn your voice into polished, well-formatted writing. It can capture meetings, organise what was said, and pull out the things that matter.
The bad news is that many of the fastest-growing voice AI companies are backed by vast amounts of venture capital. And when growth is the goal at almost any cost, private data can start to look less like something to protect and more like something to collect, analyse, and use to train the next model.
We think your voice should belong to you. So we built the voice tools we think your Mac deserves.
Dictation turns what you say into polished, well-formatted text. No typing required.
Notetaker captures your meetings and creates clear summaries, without sending a bot to join the call.
For Dictation and cleanup, Epilude can process your voice entirely on your Mac. Your audio stays there. Download the models, turn off Wi-Fi, and Dictation keeps working.
When you choose on-Mac Dictation, your audio is not sent to us, stored on our servers, or used to train a model.
Epilude is fully bootstrapped and default alive. We answer to the people who use our products, not investors demanding growth at any cost.
The money we make goes back into making Epilude the best voice suite your Mac can have.
And because we don’t need to turn every useful feature into recurring revenue, we won’t force you into a subscription where one isn’t needed.
You can try Epilude before paying. Pay Once gives you on-Mac Dictation and cleanup for a single payment, with one year of updates included.
Epilude is our love letter to speaking instead of typing, remembering instead of forgetting, and getting more done without giving more of yourself away.
Voice tools can be fast, capable, and private.
In fact, they should be.

Loved by people who talk for a living
Three weeks in and I dictate almost all of my email now. The surprise is that replies still sound like me, it picks up how I actually write instead of turning everything into corporate speak. I type maybe a tenth of what I used to.
Marek
I gave up on dictation years ago. A friend insisted. Now I’m the friend who insists.
Uma
I record from my side, no bot invite, and my client asked how my notes got so good. Told her. She bought it too.
Maeve
Notetaker beta user
I do four or five sales calls a day. The follow-up emails that used to take me twenty minutes each now take about a minute as Epilude captures and summarises my calls.
Ulrich
Notetaker beta user
I clear my inbox on the walk between meetings now, laptop half open, muttering replies. Looks ridiculous, works great.
Hugh
Third dictation app I’ve tried this year and the first one still installed in month two.
Vic
I handle client data all day, so anything that uploads audio is an automatic no. Local Mode is the reason I get to use dictation at all.
