About · the mission

Dictation that stays on your Mac.

Native to macOS. Local by default. Paid once. The way voice software should work.

§ 01 · The idea

Most dictation apps live in the cloud. They record your audio, send it to their servers, and charge you a subscription — every month, forever.

Apple Silicon changed that. Whisper now runs on your Mac in under a second, fully on-device. Sending audio to a cloud became a choice, not a requirement.

That's how sprich works. Your audio stays on your machine by default. If you want a cloud model for cleanup, plug in your own API key — your call, every time.

§ 02 · Principles

What we believe.

Local-first

Your machine, by default.

Whisper + Gemma 3 on Apple Silicon. Audio lives in memory and never touches disk. The network is opt-in, every time.

Native to macOS

Not an Electron wrapper.

A real Mac app — keyboard-first, signed, notarised, paste-into-anywhere. Built the way the platform expects, not the way a cross-platform team would compromise.

Paid once · launch deal

Owned, not rented — for now.

$59 today, no subscription, no telemetry. Lifetime pricing is the launch offer; it ends 30 Sep 2026, after which sprich moves to a subscription. Early buyers keep lifetime forever — and the incentives line up either way: no ads, no upsells, no surveillance.

§ 03 · Where we are

Indie. Early. Committed.

sprich is built by an indie developer in Germany — early stage, deliberately small, deliberately focused. No investor clock to outrun and no growth-team to feed.

Phase 1 — what you're looking at — is sprich Individual: the Mac app for writers, founders, developers — anyone who talks faster than they type. Phase 2 is sprich Business: a team variant for organisations, with admin controls and DACH-grade compliance built in. Same engine, different register.
