Dictate Bar 1.0.3 is available now on the Mac App Store. This release brings a more considered Dictations Viewer, faster ways to find a capture, and a more dependable path from spoken thought to saved Markdown.
The right thought, in the right file
A good idea can arrive in the middle of something else: while you are writing a project plan, between meetings, or away from your desk. Capturing it should not mean opening another workspace, finding an inbox, and promising yourself you will sort it out later.
Dictate Bar is built around a smaller gesture. Choose a Markdown file and an insertion point. Press your hotkey, speak, and keep moving. Your words land directly in the file you chose, in the place you chose.
Hotkey → Speak → Saved.
No extra inbox to clear. No detour away from the work in front of you.
A better place to review
Sometimes you want to look back. The Dictations Viewer gives your captures a cleaner reading layout, with faster search and filters to help you find a thought again. Note File controls are clearer, too, so it is easier to understand which file you are viewing and where a new dictation will go.
The Viewer fits the way people actually keep notes: one file for a project, another for personal writing, and different sections for the subjects that matter. Dictate Bar works with the Markdown files already in your workflow, so the notes remain yours to read and edit wherever you like.
More dependable from first launch to everyday use
Version 1.0.3 also makes the supporting parts of dictation feel more settled. Capture, recovery, and editing are more reliable. Onboarding is smoother, and location management is clearer, making it easier to set up a destination and return to it later.
The aim is straightforward: get a thought out of your head and into the right place, with as little interruption as possible.
Start free. Add destinations when you need them.
Dictate Bar is free for core dictation with one Note File. If you want to keep separate destinations ready for different parts of your life, Dictate Bar Pro adds multiple Note Files so you can switch between them.
Your files stay in Markdown. Your workflow stays yours.
