Open it from there: Flit lives in the menu bar, not the Dock. 2. ### Allow microphone and accessibility The welcome window asks for both. Microphone so Flit can hear you. Accessibility so it can see the Fn key and type at your cursor. 3. ### Hold the key, speak, let go Click into any text field, hold Fn and talk. Let go, and the finished text lands at your cursor about 0.7 seconds later. The step most people miss: the Fn key. macOS uses the same 🌐 key for the emoji picker, so until “Press 🌐 key to” is set to “Do Nothing” in System Settings → Keyboard, holding it opens emojis as well as Flit. [The setup guide shows the fix](https://flit.fyi/setup#fn-key), with a working copy of the setting. On a keyboard that has no Fn key, or never sends it to the Mac, choose Right Command, Right Option or Right Control in Flit’s Settings → Keyboard. ## Will it run on your Mac? Worth checking before you download. Everything [runs locally](https://flit.fyi/glossary/on-device-processing), which is the whole point, and it is also why the hardware bar is where it is. ### macOS 14 or later Sonoma and up. Newer versions of macOS unlock a couple of extras, and Flit works without them, using its own local models. ### Apple silicon M1 or newer. The speech and formatting models are built for Apple silicon, which is also why text lands in about 0.7 seconds. ### Microphone access Required, and requested on first run. Audio is transcribed on your Mac and never sent anywhere. ### Accessibility access Optional. It is what lets Flit type at your cursor. Decline it and Flit runs in copy-only mode, putting the transcript on your clipboard instead. On Windows? Flit for Windows is in the works, with no date yet.

Payment is handled by Paddle, our merchant of record, who will appear on your receipt and card statement. Immediately after checkout you receive an email with your license key and a receipt. Paste the key into Flit once and it is activated on up to 2 of your Macs. Moving to a new Mac later takes a minute at apps.fore.studio/manage with just the key. If the email does not arrive, write to and a person will resend it. Refunds are available for 30 days, described on the [refund page](https://flit.fyi/refund). ## Good to know ### Already bought it? It is the same app. Paste your key in Settings → License and the trial ends. Lost the key? [Look it up](https://apps.fore.studio/manage?lost) with the email you paid with. ### Five minutes of setup. The [setup guide](https://flit.fyi/setup) walks through the Fn key, the two permissions and the model choice, with a working copy of each setting. ### Stuck on something else? Email . A person reads every message, and no account is created at any point, because there is no account. ## Vitals: the Activity Monitor alternative for Mac. It groups every process under the app it belongs to, so you see 60 apps instead of 1,000 processes. It keeps 30 days of history, tells you when an app misbehaves, and lives in your menu bar.
