FluidVoice Pricing 2026

FluidVoice is a free audio & music tool that offers 6 key features including Fully on-device speech-to-text — zero data leaves the Mac, Fluid-1 local model that polishes and formats dictated text, Push-to-talk dictation into any focused text field, including terminals. FluidVoice is a free, open-source macOS dictation app that runs speech-to-text entirely on-device, so nothing you say leaves your Mac. You hold a modifier key, speak, and the text lands in whatever field has focus — including terminal applications and coding agents such as Claude Code, which is the use case the product leads with, because dictating a long instruction to an agent is meaningfully faster than typing it. What sets it apart from generic local Whisper wrappers is Fluid-1, a local AI model built specifically to polish dictation output: it applies smart formatting so raw speech becomes clean written text rather than an unpunctuated transcript, and it runs on-device alongside the transcription rather than calling out to a cloud cleanup pass. Install is a Homebrew cask or a direct download, it requires macOS 15.0 or later, and it supports both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. The site reports over 100,000 downloads. FluidVoice is the first shipped product from ALTIC, a small studio building calm on-device Mac software, whose other listed work includes an MCP server for macOS automation across Safari, Messages, Notes, Reminders, and Calendar, a shipped experimentation tool called Pilot, and two announced-but-unreleased products: FluidWrite, a Mac-native on-device autocomplete for any text field, and Glu, an AI browsing copilot. iOS and Windows versions are listed as available paths from the download page.
