Say it before you start typing.
You already know what you want to say. Vara removes the typing: hold a key, talk freely, let go — and the text lands where your cursor is. As a message, email, note or prompt.
Free. No account. No subscription. For macOS 14+.
Free because we needed it ourselves.
We built Vara for our own emails, notes, prompts and messages. Now we are giving it away: no monthly price, no account, no ads. Just a tool we use every day.
Forged in Denmark by Brokk & Sindre — and used by us every day.
Same voice. Different text.
You do not have to speak perfectly to get useful text. Say it naturally, and let Vara write it for the situation.
Raw when speed matters
Get exactly what you said into a note, thought or draft. No polish, no rewrite, just onto the screen.
Clear when someone will read it
Talk loosely and get a message or email that sounds like you on a good day: clear, warm and ready enough to send.
Precise when AI needs to understand
Explain what you want built, researched or changed, and get it shaped as a sharp prompt instead of a messy thought.
Three moves. Thought to text.
Hold the key
Press your shortcut when you would normally start typing. Vara listens only while you hold it.
Say it out loud
Speak in full thoughts, half sentences or loose notes. You do not have to make it perfect first.
Let go and continue
The text lands where you are already working, ready to send, save or build on.
Use it where you would otherwise write later.
A quick reply, a better email, a loose note, a precise prompt — directly where you are already working. Hold the key, say it, let go.
The chat reply
Get the short message out of your head and sent without turning every thread into a writing task.
The client email
Say what you mean and get a calm, clear email that is ready enough to send on.
The meeting note
Capture the decision, idea or next step while you still remember why it mattered.
The prompt for your AI
Explain the task like you would to a person, and get it down as a sharp brief.
The raw thought
When you just need the words down, you get them fast and without a filter.
Built for a Danish workday.
Vara is made in Denmark for people who move between Danish, English, æ, ø, å, email, chat, documents and prompts all day.
Not another subscription.
We wanted fast Mac dictation without a monthly bill. That is why Vara is free.
Your words are not the business model.
Vara requires no account, shows no ads and builds no profile from what you say.
Try it on the next message you were going to type anyway.
It takes a few minutes to install. Then the test is simple: hold the key, say the message you have been putting off, and see whether you miss the keyboard.
