Read the full README ↗FreeFlow is a free Mac dictation app inspired by Wispr Flow, Superwhisper, and Monologue. It gives you fast AI transcription, context-aware cleanup, and voice-driven text editing without a monthly subscription.
Fn to talk, or tap Command-Fn to start and stop dictation, and have whatever you say pasted into the current text fieldEdit Mode lets you highlight existing text and transform it with a spoken instruction, like "make this shorter" or "turn this into bullets." Enable it in settings, then use your normal dictation shortcut on selected text, or choose Manual mode to require an extra modifier key.
There is no FreeFlow server, so FreeFlow does not store or retain your data. The only information that leaves your computer are API calls to your configured transcription and LLM provider.
If you'd rather keep cleanup more literal and less context-aware, you can paste this simpler prompt into the custom system prompt setting:
FreeFlow can use OpenAI-compatible local or self-hosted providers instead of Groq. In settings, configure the API base URL and model IDs for your local LLM provider, such as Ollama, LM Studio, or another OpenAI-compatible server. If your transcription backend uses a different endpoint from your LLM backend, set the transcription API URL separately.
Local models are often slower than hosted providers, especially on cold start, long recordings, or busy hardware.
FreeFlow keeps the default network timeout at 20 seconds, but you can extend it with macOS defaults. One exception applies only to Groq's own endpoint (https://api.groq.com/openai/v1): cleanup of a new dictation waits at most 2.5 seconds. If cleanup misses that, FreeFlow pastes your transcript with local formatting and the Run Log shows "Cleanup timed out, using raw transcript". Any other API base URL, including local models, keeps 20 seconds, and so do Edit Mode, dictations with an Output Language, and Run Log retries.

The timeout keys are:
transcription_timeout_seconds: audio transcription requestspost_processing_timeout_seconds: transcript cleanup and edit mode requests; a positive value also replaces the 2.5-second Groq dictation cleanup budgetcontext_request_timeout_seconds: nearby app context requestsOnly positive values are used. Remove a custom timeout to return to the defaults:
defaults delete com.zachlatta.freeflow transcription_timeout_seconds
defaults delete com.zachlatta.freeflow post_processing_timeout_seconds
defaults delete com.zachlatta.freeflow context_request_timeout_seconds
