Finished text, not a transcript.

Your day is a queue of replies. Each one is short, each one needs the right register, and typing them is the tax you pay for being the person everyone asks. Flit turns the queue into something you can talk through, with the tone already matched to where the message is going.

Can we meet at 10:30 AM on Friday?

The engine hears “1030 AM”. The clean 10:30 is a fixed rule, not the model being lucky.

Mail 9:41

When can we sync this week?

Why founders and executives choose Flit over Wispr Flow

It runs on your Mac, not in the cloud

Wispr Flow sends your voice to its servers. Flit transcribes and formats on your Mac, and keeps working with no internet.

You pay once, not every month

Wispr Flow is a monthly subscription. Flit is one payment, and it is yours to keep. No account either.

Made for founders and executives

Board updates, fundraising threads and hiring notes stay on your Mac. And it is one payment, not another line on the monthly software bill.

Flit and Wispr Flow compared in full

No integration, no plugin, no waiting for support. Flit types wherever your cursor already is.

Three steps, and none of them is “open the app”.

  1. 01 fn

    Put your cursor anywhere

    Wherever you would normally type: Mail, Slack, a calendar invite. Flit has no window of its own to switch to.

  2. 02 ●

    Hold the key and talk

    Speak normally, fillers and all. A small bar shows the words arriving as you say them, so you can see it working.

  3. 03 ↵

    Let go. It is written

    Finished text appears at your cursor about 0.7 seconds later, punctuated and formatted. No copying, no cleanup, no second window.

Prefer not to hold a key? Tap once to lock it on, or arm hands-free mode and Flit starts when you speak. Escape cancels any dictation.

What slows founders and executives down today

Two hundred short replies a day, all typed one key at a time.

Dictation output reads too casual for mail and too stiff for Slack.

The tool that would fix it wants your screen in its cloud.

A separate dictation window breaks the reply you were writing.

What Flit does for founders and executives

The right register, per app

Casual in Messages, professional in Mail, exact words in Terminal. Set your own rule per app and Flit matches it without being told again.

Say it once, insert the whole thing

Snippets hold the things you retype daily: scheduling links, sign-offs, addresses, canned replies. Say the trigger and the full text lands.

Replies that know the thread

Optionally, Flit reads the field you are replying in, so names and terminology from the conversation carry into your answer. Read locally, kept in memory for one dictation, never stored.

Nothing to leak

No account, no telemetry, and no server ever sees a word. Board updates and hiring notes never leave your Mac, which is the only version of this that survives a security review.

Flit against the rest, by name.

Do not take our word for it

Turn the wifi off and dictate. It works exactly the same, because there was never a request to make. No certification we could buy would tell you as much as that one test does.

Flit for founders and executives: common questions

Something else? Email hi@flit.fyi and a person replies.

Is Flit a good Wispr Flow alternative for founders and executives?

Yes. Flit does the same job as Wispr Flow, but it runs on your Mac instead of a server and is paid once instead of every month. Board updates, fundraising threads and hiring notes stay on your Mac. And it is one payment, not another line on the monthly software bill.

Is my dictation used to train a model?

No. Your audio never leaves your Mac, so there is nothing to train on. No server is involved in transcribing or formatting at any point.

How much time does this actually save?

Speaking runs about four times faster than composing at a keyboard. At 2,000 words a day that is roughly 48 minutes back daily, or five working weeks a year.

Can I use it in Gmail and Slack in the browser?

Yes, including Chrome and Electron apps. Those are exactly the surfaces most dictation tools give up on.
