Why Kalam

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

100% offline capable

Run a local Whisper model on your machine. Your audio never leaves your device — not even for a millisecond.

Hosted AI, zero setup

On Max, transcription and AI polish run through Kalam Cloud. No API keys, no configuration — it just works.

Smart privacy mode

Sensitive app detection auto-switches to local processing. Context awareness locks down, AI calls are blocked — your data stays on-device.

Profiles & Polish

Create unlimited dictation profiles — Email, Slack, Code Comments — each with its own AI instructions. Toggle Polish on any profile for grammar cleanup.

Notes inbox

Voice capture into Notes on the same dictation hotkey — say "new note" without leaving your flow. Snippets and history stay local.

Rust-powered speed

Built with Tauri and Rust. Sub-second startup, minimal memory footprint, and battery life your laptop will thank you for.

Up & running in a minute

Download & install

Grab the installer for your OS. One click, no account required, no sign-up wall.

Choose your engine

Go fully offline with the built-in Whisper model, bring your own API key, or let Kalam Cloud handle everything on Max.

Hold, speak, release

Press your hotkey, talk naturally, let go. Your words appear wherever your cursor is — any app, any field.
