Speak is dictation — talk instead of type, free forever, no word limits. Command adds voice commands for macOS: switch apps and tabs, edit text by voice, act on the page in front of you. Delegate is the one that does work for you — describe a task and Yapivo carries out the steps. Speak is free, Command is a one-time payment, and Delegate is a $19.99 monthly subscription.
Yes—and dictation is unlimited on it. No word limits, no credit card, no trial period. You only pay if you want Command — voice commands that control your Mac.
Command is a single $79 payment—no subscription, ever. It unlocks command mode: voice commands for macOS, switching apps, windows and browser tabs, editing text by voice, and acting on posts on X and Reddit. It is a perpetual license: the version you buy is yours forever, and every update released in the first year is included.
Nothing changes about what you own. The app keeps working, forever, with every feature and update released during your first year. If you want the newer versions after that, there will be an optional renewal—but you are never locked out of what you paid for, and there is nothing to cancel.
Delegate is $19.99 a month, billed through Stripe and tied to your Yapivo account, so it unlocks on every Mac you sign in to — no key to enter. It includes everything in Command. Cancel any time from Billing; it stays on until the end of the month you paid for.
Not for Command: your license key is shown on screen the moment the payment goes through, and emailed to you as well. Paste it into Yapivo under Settings → Enter License. Delegate does need an account — the subscription lives on it, so it unlocks wherever you sign in.
Yapivo works in any text field on your Mac—email clients, Slack, Notion, Google Docs, VS Code, ChatGPT, and thousands more. If you can type in it, you can speak in it.
Yapivo runs NVIDIA's Parakeet speech model on your Mac, and it handles natural, fast speech well. Punctuation and filler words are cleaned up automatically, so what lands is ready to send.
Yapivo's AI layer handles natural speech patterns gracefully. Stutters, restarts, and corrections are cleaned up automatically. Speak like a human, get polished text.
Speech is transcribed on your Mac, and your recordings never leave it. History is kept on your Mac for as long as you choose (7 days by default), and you can delete any entry. If you're signed in, the text of your History syncs to your account so it shows on the web dashboard. Features that would send text to an outside AI provider are currently switched off; if that changes, they will be optional and named in our Privacy Policy first.
Yapivo's speech model covers 25 European languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese. It detects the language as you speak.
Yapivo is built to be lightweight. It uses minimal resources when idle and processes speech efficiently. You won't notice any slowdown in your daily work.
Most users feel natural within a day or two. The bigger adjustment is realizing how much faster you can work—and learning to trust your voice over your keyboard.
