Keystorm for Mac
Press a shortcut, say what you mean, and your words appear in the app you are already using. Speech recognition and text cleanup run on your Mac.
How it works
Keystorm listens while you speak and puts the result in the text field you started in, so you don’t have to switch windows.
Press the shortcut while you are typing somewhere. You can change it in Settings.
A small panel shows a live preview. Pause with ⌥⇧⌘P and pick up where you left off.
Press the shortcut again. The text goes where you started, and Keystorm confirms it with a line like “Inserted into TextEdit.”
Languages
The on-device speech model recognizes 25 European languages. Keystorm writes down what you said in the language you said it, and never translates unless you ask.
Modes
Pick Verbatim, Clean or Email before you start. Clean and Email change only punctuation, capitals, line breaks and a few filler sounds like “uh”. Every other word stays, in the order you said it.
uh the build is green and we can ship on friday
uh the build is green and we can ship on friday
The speech model’s transcript, unchanged. No text model is involved, and it is the default. Spoken numbers may come out as digits.

Punctuation and capitals from a local text model. A sentence that mixes languages stays mixed.

Hi Anna,
The slides are ready. I put them in the shared folder.
Also, can we move the review to Thursday?
Thanks,

Clean, plus paragraphs. It never adds a greeting, a sign-off or a promise you didn’t say.

Translate is a preview you make after a recording, and nothing changes until you apply it. Numbers, dates, links and code are copied exactly.
Examples are illustrative. Verbatim works in all 25 languages. The Clean, Email and Translate instructions are written for English and German, and Translate writes English or German.
Privacy
Both models run on Apple silicon. There is no account, no cloud service and no analytics. Keystorm goes online only when you choose to download a model.
Careful by design
Text goes only into the field you started in. If anything changed while you were talking, Keystorm keeps the result for you to copy.
Outside TextEdit, pasting has been tested in Stickies and Dictionary so far. Browsers and Electron apps are not verified yet. After a paste, Keystorm restores your clipboard when it can.
Your vocabulary
Turn on learning, and Keystorm suggests remembering the names and terms you correct. Nothing is reused until you approve it, and you can undo or forget any entry.
Long recordings
Audio is saved as you speak and survives a restart. Pause and resume, save a trimmed copy, or swap a take for an audio file. Summaries are saved as separate versions, and the original is never overwritten.
