okay so the new timeline should be ready by friday — although it might slip. there's been a lot of back and forth

Yap once,
everywhere it lands.

Hey — caught your message. I’m heading to the office around two-thirty, happy to grab coffee right after.

Filler words, stutters, and false starts gone before they hit the page.
Both SidesMAX
Yapper can also listen to your Mac's audio output — Zoom calls, podcasts, video, voice calls — and transcribe it alongside you.
On-device first
Audio stays on your machine unless you tell it otherwise. SOC 2 ready.
One global shortcut
Hold a key, talk, release. Yapper drops finished text wherever you were.
Knows your voice
Yapper learns your vocabulary, names, and tone — not the average internet user's.
Edit by talking
"Make it shorter," "more formal," "fix the bullets" — Yapper just does it.

Yapper is
made for you.

Yapper for Accessibility

Your voice deserves a shortcut. Yapper supports anyone slowed down by a keyboard — turning speech into structured, polished text quietly, reliably, naturally.

* Yapper ships on macOS first. Windows, iOS, and Android arrive later — and any feature marked with an asterisk activates automatically on those platforms the moment they launch. Nothing extra to pay, nothing to upgrade.

Frequently asked questions.

By default, Yapper transcribes on your device. You can opt into cloud refinement for harder edits — it's clearly labeled and per-request. Audio is never used to train models.
Any macOS app where your cursor blinks. That includes browsers, Slack, Notion, Figma, Cursor, VS Code, Mail, Messages, and Terminal. Windows, iOS, and Android are coming.
Out of the box, Yapper sits in the high 90s for English. Add 25 vocabulary words (names, jargon, products) and the error rate halves again.
Yes — the local model handles transcription and most polishing without a connection. Cloud edits gracefully fall back to local.
Yes — Both Sides (Max plan) listens to your Mac's audio output alongside your microphone. Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, FaceTime, podcast playback, a Twitter video — anything routed through your speakers gets transcribed too. Yapper separates your voice from the other side and saves the whole conversation to your timeline, searchable later.
Every friend who signs up via your link adds 1,000 free words to your balance. Every friend who upgrades to Pro adds a free month of Pro for both of you. The free months stack — there's no cap. Refer enough and you'll never pay.
Max plan includes 5 seats and shared dictionaries — works out to ~$5.80 per seat. Larger teams or SSO/SCIM, drop us a line.
You get 2,500 words free to try Yapper — no card needed. If you upgrade and change your mind, ping us within 30 days and we'll refund without making you feel bad about it.
