Willow is an AI-powered dictation software that can be used anywhere on your computer. It uses AI to auto-format, correct mistakes, and cut filler words, making your writing faster and cleaner.
I’m one of the founders of Willow Voice. Our interest in dictation tools started after seeing how essential it was to older folks at assisted living facilities we built tech for.
Apple’s built-in dictaiton is hardly accurate. Other apps are slow, invasive, and hard to get started. I realized this could be something that benefits everyone.
So… we built Willow — an AI dictation app that works anywhere on your Mac, auto-formats your rambles into polished text, and even replies to emails if you ask nicely.
Why Willow?
Instant, anywhere dictation: Press FN → release → start talking. No more switching apps or clicking buttons.
AI that actually formats text: Automatically structures emails, adds punctuation, and even adapts tone (formal vs. casual) based on context.
Privacy-first: We don’t collect user data. We have a context-aware mode for smarter replies if you opt-in.
“Hey Willow” Assistant: Say “Hey Willow, respond to this with ‘Let’s reschedule for Friday’” and watch it draft replies for you. This is only if you opt-in for this feature in our settings.
Smooth UX: Willow is optimized to have an Apple-like experience. No crazy setup. No weird customization. It’s easy to use and it just works.
Near-zero latency: Even with AI post-processing for formatting text like emails and auto-correction, we’re faster than most competitors. Always sub 1 second latency.
We’re Mac-only for now. You can try it free at WillowVoice.com and tell us what you think. How can we make the product better for you?
@allan_guo Just one suggestion for an update please. It would be great to have a push-to-talk option instead of having to hold the function key down. Just a small addition that I think would make a big difference in everyday use.
The pricing information is now included within the upgrade to premium button. Once you click on it, you'll be able to see that we offer a monthly plan at $15 per month.
As for the current trial, you are limited by 2000 words. The app crashing is a bug that has been fully fixed now and was just present in a few select versions that we had released over the past week, as well as the checklist.
Thanks so much for being a user and really glad that you like it!
I got to try a very cool early version of the product, it has a ton of potential! I like how easy it to use to use the one click transcription personally.
Good product, works with Cursor; however I uninstalled because there is no way to turn off the "You haven't used Willow in a while!" notifications. If your product lacks the ability to turn off nags, it's a big red flag for me. There isn't even a way to disable it in the Mac settings. Hopefully, this gets swiftly addressed in a future update. 4/5 for now, great product with one large flaw.
Absolutely loving this — 'Voice dictation that actually works' isn’t just a tagline, it’s the experience. The near-zero latency, AI-powered formatting, and ability to respond hands-free with 'Hey Willow' make it feel like the app anticipates my thoughts. This is a major leap for productivity and accessibility!

Like it! Using it a few days... Really nice! Some questions and feedback:
There is no information about the pricing and the current trial restrictions...?
The app seems to crash a few times a day...
The checklist to get started, seems to reset now and then...
Keep it up!
