Watch it work.

Local-first. Private by architecture.

On-device speech recognition, sized to your Mac. Audio never touches the disk. Text lands at your cursor. Notes, Notion, Slack, VS Code, Mail. Indian mode is tuned for code-mixed speech: Hinglish, Tanglish, and English mixed with Marathi, Bengali and more.

Four steps. Your voice never leaves your Mac.

Listen

Hold your key and speak.

Transcribe

On your Mac, offline.

Type

Clean text at your cursor.

Stay put

Your voice stays on the machine.

Privacy that is structural, not promised.

Most apps ask you to trust a privacy policy. Ploca removes the need for trust. No code writes your audio to disk or sends your transcripts anywhere. Telemetry was never built.

Captured to memory, transcribed, discarded. Only your settings and usage counts reach the disk, plus a transcript log if you switch it on. No analytics, no crash reporter, no install ID. Nothing about how you use it is transmitted. A launch check, a daily update check, your licence key if you bought one, and the one-time model download. Headers only, with an offline grace of seven days, or three on Monthly. No Input Monitoring, no Screen Recording. Other tools use both for context. We do not. Watch the network with a tool like Little Snitch and see the silence yourself. Learn more →

Honest about where we differ.

Wispr Flow is the polished cloud tool. Apple Dictation is already on your Mac. Here is where Ploca stands apart, and where it does less.

Ploca is Apple Silicon only, on macOS 26 or later. If you are on Windows or an Intel Mac, Ploca is not your tool.

Checked against their public pages in September 2026. Terms change, so check for yourself.

What Ploca deliberately does not do

  • Cloud models. Not at any tier.
  • Rewriting your words. What you said is what appears.
  • Per-app modes. The defaults are the product.
  • Windows, Intel Macs, mobile. One platform, done well.

Built for people who think in sentences.

  • Writers drafting essays, newsletters, and books.
  • Journalists capturing interviews and field notes.
  • Vibe coders thinking out loud with Claude or Cursor.
  • Founders getting thoughts down between meetings.
  • Clinicians and therapists who cannot send notes to the cloud.
  • Anyone who values privacy over polish.

A wall of love.

"Ploca runs inference entirely on-device, so no audio sits in someone else's servers. It doesn't fall apart when I switch to Tanglish mid-sentence, and latency is low enough that I have stopped noticing it."
Nithen Varghese Lead Solutions Architect, Eli Lilly
"Super fast transcription that helps with my brainstorming sessions with AI."
Vignesh Shankar Co-Founder, Heartlisted
"Ploca has been a fantastic addition to my daily workflow. Where it stands out most is how cleanly it captures Indian English and conversational Tamil, and all of this working locally on macOS is a game changer."
