You think out loud. We Quill it in.
Native macOS dictation that drops polished text into the app you're already in — Slack, Gmail, Notion — with the audio kept on your Mac.
Animation: messy dictation streams into Slack, Gmail and Notion, then polishes or translates into clean text in about half a second — all on-device.
What this looks like in your day.

I'm building Quilin solo, as a bilingual operator on a Mac. If that's you — or you live somewhere between English and another language — I'd love to have you in beta. We open 100 seats in June.
