# Yapivo

> Yapivo is a voice app for Mac. You speak, and it writes for you, controls your Mac, or hands the work to an AI agent. Speech is transcribed on your Mac by NVIDIA's Parakeet model, and recordings never leave it. Three modes: Speak (AI dictation, free forever, no word limits), Command (voice control for macOS, $79 once) and Delegate (AI agents, $19.99 a month). Website: https://yapivo.com

- Category: AI voice dictation and voice control for macOS, with voice-driven AI agents.
- For: people who think faster than they type — founders, writers, developers and anyone who works at a Mac all day.
- Platform: macOS (Mac app). Download from the website; no account is needed to start.
- Speak (free forever): unlimited dictation into any app you can type in — email, Slack, Notion, Google Docs, VS Code, ChatGPT — transcribed on your Mac. Say "Zach" to talk hands-free, or hold Fn; sticky mode holds a long thought until you finish; punctuation and filler words are cleaned up; Dictionary and Snippets for your names, words and shortcuts; Voice Systems rewrite what you said as an email, bullets or a tweet, on-device with Ollama.
- Command ($79, one payment, no subscription): command mode — open, switch and close apps, windows and browser tabs, edit text by voice (select, delete, punctuate, reformat), post, reply, like and repost on X and Reddit, and say "show commands" to see what works in the app in front of you. A perpetual licence: the version you buy is yours forever, with every update from the first year.
- Delegate ($19.99 a month, cancel any time): Delegate mode handles files, folders and apps by voice and asks before anything risky; Agents give tasks to Claude Code or Codex in your workspace, and you approve each risky step from your Mac or iPhone; and a spoken idea becomes ready-to-post X posts and Substack notes. Includes everything in Command. Subscribe in the homepage pricing section; it's tied to your Yapivo account, so it unlocks on every Mac you sign in to.
- Privacy: transcription runs on the Mac and recordings never leave it. History stays on the Mac for as long as you choose (7 days by default); when signed in, its text syncs to your account for the web dashboard. Yapivo's own features that would send text to an outside AI provider are switched off; Agents hand tasks to your own Claude Code or Codex.
- Languages: 25 European languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese, detected as you speak.
- Accounts: not needed for Speak or to buy Command — the licence key is shown on screen and emailed. Delegate needs a Yapivo account, because the subscription lives on it.
