Type with your voice, think with AI. Meet Ito.

Tired of endless typing and context-switching? Meet Ito, the intelligent voice assistant for Mac that lets you dictate, rewrite, and command text in any application.
We built Ito because one of our creators struggled with carpal tunnel pain and needed a tool that genuinely reduces typing, not just transcribes words. Ito is more than dictation; it's a system-wide capability that enhances your existing workflows.
What makes Ito a game-changer?
• Works Everywhere: Use a global hotkey to dictate in any text field—Slack, Notion, your code editor, you name it. If your cursor is there, Ito works there.
• Intelligent Mode: This is where the magic happens. Don't just dictate—give commands. Select text and say, "rewrite this professionally" or "add comprehensive comments to this code," and Ito uses an LLM to instantly transform your content. You can also use a wake-word like "Hey Ito" to trigger complex actions.
• Open Source & Privacy-First: In a world of tools requiring high-level permissions (keyboard, microphone), we believe in full transparency. Ito is completely open source under the GNU General Public License. You can audit the code, see exactly how we handle permissions, and even run the entire server locally on your own machine. Your data stays under your control.
Ito is about working smarter, faster, and with less physical strain. It's free, open source, and built by a community that values privacy and productivity.
We're excited for you to try it and would love to hear your feedback!
