intent mode
It doesn't just hear you. It knows what you were making.
Dictation types what you said. Intent mode notices what you were doing: say “reply to Josh…” and you get the email, ready to send. Say “there's a bug…” and you get the bug report. No format to pick, no prompt to write. Included with every plan.

why Mutter
Three reasons it sticks
Get the thought out, get it out faster, and keep it private when it counts.
01
Say it messy. Send it clean.
Talk the way you'd explain it to a coworker, ums, false starts, and all. Mutter clears the clutter and even recognizes what you're making, an email, a message, a task list, and writes the finished version for you.
the thought, articulated.

02
Three times faster than typing
You speak around 150 words a minute and type maybe 40. Mutter turns that speed into finished text, so the email you've been dreading takes seconds, not minutes. Your backlog clears itself.

Private enough for sensitive work
Lawyers, clinicians, founders: turn on Private mode and every word is transcribed on your Mac with an on-device model. No audio leaves the machine, hits a server, or trains anything. Dictate with Wi-Fi off and watch it work.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Is my audio really private?
In Private mode, yes. Transcription runs entirely on your Mac with an open-source model and nothing is uploaded. Cloud mode sends a single utterance to our transcription provider over an encrypted connection and is never stored.
Do I need an account to dictate?
Yes, an account is your license, it carries your plan and your history. But you can start free: a new account gets 200 on-device words a month at no cost, with your audio never leaving your Mac. Upgrade anytime for unlimited dictation plus Cloud and Intent Mode. You can also try the in-browser demo first, no account needed.
Does it work on Intel Macs?
Yes. Cloud mode runs on any Mac, Intel included. The fully on-device Private mode requires Apple Silicon. See the system requirements.
What is intent mode (Compose)?
A second hotkey. Hold it, speak a messy thought, and Mutter detects what you were creating, an email, an AI prompt, a Slack message, a memo, a task list, and drafts the finished thing for you to review before it lands anywhere. It's included with both plans and sends only the transcript text, never your audio.
Can I cancel anytime?
Anytime, in a couple of clicks from the app. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you've paid for. Annual plans give you 2 months free.
