You can relax and just talk.
The simplest, lightest, most performant dictation app you can install.
Glacey lives in your menu bar using just 20 to 40 MB of memory. Most dictation apps run ten times heavier. It stays quiet, stays cool, and barely touches your battery.
Say it with all the ums, false starts and second thoughts. Glacey hands back text you'd actually want to send, not a literal transcript.
Your cleaned-up text lands the moment you stop talking. For most people that's around four times faster than typing the same thing.
Glacey idles at 20 to 40 MB of memory. That's lighter than a single browser tab, and a fraction of what other dictation apps demand.
No heavy background processing, no fans spinning up. Glacey stays quiet and cool, so a full day of dictation barely moves your battery.
Especially accurate across European languages, including the smaller, underrepresented ones that most tools treat as an afterthought.
Glacey reads the language your keyboard is set to and uses it as a strong hint. Even a short, three word phrase comes out right.
Start in French, drop in a Spanish phrase, finish in English. Glacey follows along without missing a beat.
Want a faithful word-for-word transcript? Use raw mode. Want the filler gone and the grammar fixed? Use enhanced.
Gmail, Notion, Slack, your code editor, the terminal, a search bar. If there's a text field, Glacey can put text in it.
Press Option + Space anywhere on your Mac, talk, release. No window to find, no button to hunt for.
One hotkey and a small menu bar icon. That's the whole interface. Nothing to configure before you can start.
A generous free tier and a price that respects you. No tricks, no lock-in, no surprise add-ons.
Your audio and transcripts are used only to produce your text. Never sold, never used to train AI models. Always encrypted in transit.
Accents, conversational rambling, the occasional technical term. Glacey keeps up, and the cleanup keeps the text correct even when a word is tricky.
Sign in once with Google and your word count and settings come with you. As new platforms land, you pick up where you left off.
Glacey is especially strong across European and underrepresented languages. Switch tongues in the middle of a sentence whenever you like. And because it reads the language your keyboard is set to, even short phrases come out accurate.
Short phrases, set straight by the keyboard hint.
