Scrybapp is the right call if you are on macOS, want the simplest possible local dictation at a very low one-time cost, and have no need for Windows or Linux, keyboard AI command prefixes, autocomplete, or meeting transcription. Typilot is the better fit when you need those surfaces, cross-platform coverage, or a keyboard-based AI layer on top of voice.
Yes. Both transcribe audio locally on the device with no cloud upload. Scrybapp is macOS-only with a $19 launch lifetime licence and built-in filler-word removal and on-device voice translation. Typilot adds 27 keyboard-triggered AI command prefixes (gen:, fix:, rew:, and more) via local Ollama, ghost-text autocomplete, on-device meeting transcription with speaker diarization, and runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux for $7.99/month or $199 lifetime.
No. Scrybapp supports macOS only - Apple Silicon and Intel Mac. Typilot runs on macOS, Windows 10/11, and Linux (including Wayland), keeping audio on the device at every tier across all three platforms.
No. Scrybapp runs Whisper entirely on your Mac - no audio ever leaves the device. The same is true for Typilot: local Whisper handles transcription and a local Ollama model handles AI commands and autocomplete on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Scrybapp costs $19 as a lifetime licence at launch (covering 3 Macs), rising to $59 after the launch batch. Typilot costs $7.99/month or $199 as a one-time lifetime licence (3-day free trial). Scrybapp is cheaper if you only need voice dictation; Typilot adds AI commands, autocomplete, and meeting transcription in that higher price.
