Tulip
Hold fn to dictate into any Mac app, fully on-device and instant
What this is
Hold a key and dictate into any Mac app; speech-to-text runs entirely on-device so nothing is sent to a server. One-time purchase, not a subscription.
Our one-line summary — not the founder’s tagline.
- How it works
- Hold the fn key on a Mac, speak, and release to drop clean, punctuated dictated text at your cursor in any app; speech-to-text runs entirely on-device on Apple Silicon and works offline.
- What's different
- Processes audio fully on-device and never sends it to a server, unlike cloud-based dictation tools.
- Pricing
- One-time purchase for a lifetime license usable on up to three Macs, with a 2-day free trial and a year of updates included.
- Best for
- Mac users who want fast, private dictation into any app without a subscription.

Other. Launched 13d ago on BetaList. Today, it's been quiet for 13 days and the price has started to bleed.
Already bleeding a little every day, and it accelerates the longer it stays quiet.
We check this site every day, ourselves. A founder can post “still working on it” — a claim like that doesn't price. What we price is what we can verify from the outside: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”

It launched on BetaList.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.

The board it did best on sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also placed high on that board too — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
