Flexible transcription
Use configurable API transcription providers or local transcription options depending on the workflow you prefer.
Open-source macOS dictation
Dictate, clean up, and edit text on your Mac.
Quill helps you speak into any focused text field, clean up transcripts with your configured AI provider, and transform selected text with voice commands. Calendar access is optional and read-only.
Built for local Mac workflows.
Quill is a maintained fork of FreeFlow that keeps the upstream dictation experience while adding Quill-specific workflows and integrations.
AI cleanup and output language
When post-processing is enabled, Quill can clean up raw transcripts and produce final output in the language you choose.
Edit Mode
Select text, speak an instruction, and let Quill transform the selected text with your configured AI provider.
Custom vocabulary
Add names, jargon, and project-specific terms so transcript cleanup can preserve important spellings.
Local history
Review, retry, and manage dictation results from local run history stored on your Mac.
No Quill cloud account
Quill does not operate a server that stores your transcripts, audio, calendar data, or OAuth tokens.
Privacy and integrations.
Quill is local-first. Provider calls and Google Calendar access are optional parts of the workflows you configure.
Optional Calendar access
Quill can use read-only Google Calendar access to suggest note titles from selected calendars when an event overlaps a live recording.
- No calendars are selected by default.
- Quill does not create, edit, or delete calendar events.
Local-first storage
