Say it messy. Paste it clean
Hold ⌥ Space, say the whole thing, let go. Clean, punctuated text lands where your cursor already is: polite in Mail, casual in Slack, exact in your code editor. Already wrote something rough? Select it, press ⌥⇧Space, and rewrite it in place. All of it runs on your Mac, and your voice and writing stay there.
Your voice
“so um yeah can you send me the uh the report by end of day”
Released: polished
“Could you send me the report by end of day?”
Some voice apps flow to the cloud. Then they bill you every month for the privilege.
Echo Flow runs on your Mac, and you buy it once. Your voice goes nowhere, and there is no month 13 invoice.
Dictate ⌥ + Space
- Hold ⌥ + Space. The overlay appears instantly.
- Speak naturally. Echo Flow reads the room: Mail becomes email, Slack stays casual, code stays verbatim.
- Release. Polished text lands exactly where your cursor is.
Rewrite ⌥ + ⇧ + Space
- Select any text in any app.
- Press ⌥⇧Space. Choose Fix Writing, Sound Pro, Make It Shorter, Bullet Points, or another palette action.
- Echo Flow replaces the selection or copies the result when the app blocks replacement.
“I rambled for like, two minutes about a session and it — it actually made a decent SOAP note? Had to fix one line. That’s it,” says Will, a therapist in portland who was pretty sure he’d hate dictating.
He still edits every note. Good. The tool isn’t supposed to think for you. Just type less.

It reads the room
Say it once. It lands polite in Mail, casual in Slack, and untouched in your code editor. And you see it before it pastes.
Smart Context
You don't pick a tone. Echo Flow detects the app you're in and writes for it. Mail becomes a professional email. Slack stays casual and short. Code stays verbatim, no polish. Notes get structured bullets. Override once. It remembers.
- ✓Auto-detects 30+ apps and maps the right tone
- ✓Remembers your per-app preferences
- ✓Shows context indicator in the recording overlay
Rewrite Palette

- ✓Works on selected text in any app
- ✓9 practical actions plus your own styles
- ✓Powered by Echo Flow AI locally after setup
Review before it lands
Enable Preview Before Paste and see your polished text in a frosted-glass popup before it goes anywhere. Return to paste. E to edit. Esc to discard. Plus subtle start and stop chimes that respect your system sound settings.
- ✓Preview popup with Paste / Edit / Discard
- ✓No auto-paste timer. You choose.
- ✓Ascending chime on start, descending on stop
A structured note, straight from your summary
After a session, press ⌥⌘N, speak your 2–10 minute summary, and Echo Flow organizes it into a SOAP, DAP, BIRP, GIRP, Progress, or Intake note (or a template you design for your practice). Everything runs on-device, and you review every note before it lands.
Built for your field
Works with whatever practice system you already use. Just focus the text field. No integration. No API.
Organized, not invented
Echo Flow sorts what you said into the right sections and leaves out what you skipped. It never writes the note for you. You review it, then paste.
PHI stays local
No cloud speech or cloud AI. Recordings are deleted as soon as they're transcribed; only the raw transcript is stored, on your Mac, for a retention period you choose.
Works where you work
Dictate or rewrite. Same flow across every app.
Emails that send as-is
Speak your intent; get clear, professional copy in Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail.
