Rhino Voice is a Mac dictation app that types into any app you use, such as Slack, Gmail, Notion, Xcode, or the terminal. Transcription and AI cleanup both run on your Mac, so it works offline, needs no account, and sends no audio or text off your machine.
It keeps a local history, supports a personal dictionary for names and jargon, lets you drop in MP3 or MP4 files for transcripts, and offers hands-free mode. It requires macOS 14 or later, and reviewers report it needs Apple silicon. The first version shipped on August 11, 2026.
The AppSumo deal is a single $12 code for lifetime access with unlimited dictation minutes and all future updates, on one Mac per code. It is not stackable. Of 38 reviews, 30 are 5 stars; critics mention missing features and weak mixed-language support.
