Rekk is a voice-to-text utility for macOS that lives behind a single keyboard shortcut. Press and hold to record, release and the transcribed text lands wherever your cursor is — Slack, Mail, a code editor, a doc, anywhere.

“Hold a shortcut, talk, release — Rekk pastes the text into whatever app you were just in. No window switching, no app to open.”
When you're done dictating, a quick-action menu lets you send that text somewhere specific: paste, copy, spellcheck, translate, drop it into Apple Notes, draft a Mail message, create a Google Doc, save it to Notion, or just keep recording. The action you reach for becomes a one-key shortcut.
I built Rekk because dictation tools always require switching to their own window first — by then you've already lost the thought. Rekk stays out of the way until you summon it.
6 highlights — each one earns its place by removing a daily friction.
