Dictation that understands where the words are going.

Foil is a Mac dictation workspace built around context. It can polish language for people, preserve direct intent for agents, and apply different cleanup behavior depending on the destination app.

Destination detected

Words shaped for the app in front of you.

A configurable transcription and cleanup route keeps the spoken intent appropriate for its destination.

The job

Make the hard part explicit.

Most dictation tools treat every text field the same. A message to a colleague, a document paragraph, and an instruction to an agent have different needs—but generic transcription flattens them into one style.

The approach

Build around the real workflow.

Foil makes the destination part of the workflow. Users can shape app-specific cleanup and decide where transcription and processing run, including provider-backed and local-compatible routes.

The distinction

Keep the product focused.

It is less a universal microphone button than a configurable layer between spoken intent and the software receiving it.

How it helps

A small tool with a clear job.

01

Destination-aware cleanup

Apply different treatment when words are headed to a person, a document, or an AI agent.

02

Provider choice

Choose where audio is transcribed and where text cleanup runs instead of accepting a single fixed pipeline.

03

Mac-native workflow

Keep dictation close at hand from the menu bar and insert text where work is already happening.

04

Open development

Follow releases, reliability work, and setup guidance through the public GitHub project.
