Open source & Pro

The open-source edition's code is public on GitHub; download it for free and use or modify it under the repository license. Pro is a proprietary desktop editor with transcript editing, recording, local models and MCP in both directions. Launch it online for a 7-day trial; license keys are available by email. Both editions use AI model services you configure, billed by those providers.
