Field notes
Vox describes a hold-to-talk workflow that inserts text at the active cursor, with no account or internet connection required according to the page. A separate clipboard feature keeps up to 100 recent items and lets users select several for one paste; the site says password-manager-marked secrets are skipped. The stated system requirement is macOS 14 or later, while the purchase button’s “Coming soon” label leaves availability unclear.
