Plynn, the Mac Dictation App That Keeps Its Ears at Home

Field notes

Plynn uses a hold-to-talk workflow: speech appears in a floating capsule, then the finished text is inserted at the active cursor. Its cleanup layer runs through Apple Intelligence on the Mac, while short dictations can bypass the model for immediate pasting. The page also describes local SQLite history with words-per-minute and time-spoken statistics, plus Markdown meeting summaries. It supports four trigger keys and requires macOS 26 on Apple silicon.
