The part nobody else does: it looks like yours

Dictation apps tend to look like utilities. In Eloksen, the little pill that listens to you is yours to design: pick a shape, glass or solid, a color, and what lives inside it. Talk more and you unlock more, up to the rare Galaxy at 100,000 words. Try designing one.

Six Eloksen pill colors: Rainbow, Sunset, Ocean, Aurora, Galaxy and Gold.

Made by one person, not a company

Hi, I'm the solo developer behind Eloksen. I built it because I wanted dictation that felt like part of my Mac, not another subscription. I write the code, answer the support email and read every bug report.

That's also why it costs what it does: no servers, no AI bills, no investors to pay back. If something's off, you're talking to the person who can fix it. Email eloksensupport@gmail.com, or use Report a Bug in the app.

Questions

Is Eloksen a good Superwhisper or Wispr Flow alternative?

If you dictate on a Mac in English and want it to work without setting anything up, yes. If you need other platforms, other languages or meeting notes, the other two cover more.

Which ones work offline?

Eloksen always runs on your Mac, so it works with no internet at all. Superwhisper works offline with its local models. Wispr Flow processes dictation in the cloud, so it needs a connection.

Can I try them all?

Yes. Eloksen is free for 7 days, and the other two have free tiers. If you install more than one, give each a different key so they don't all start listening.

Why is Eloksen so much cheaper?

Everything runs on your Mac, so there are no servers or AI bills to pass on to you. And it's one person, not a company with a payroll.
