Flit plans to keep its Mac dictation app at $19 as it releases version 1.1, according to a post on X by founder Atta. The update adds new voice models, a dictionary that learns, a developer mode for the terminal and a new interface, the post said.
The announcement did not give an exact release time, saying only that version 1.1 would arrive within a few hours. Atta also said the update includes fixes requested by users.
The developer mode is aimed at users dictating code-related terms. Flit says it indexes file and symbol names from open projects in terminals and editors to improve transcription of identifiers, without reading file contents.
The dictionary is designed to learn spellings only after a user approves it. On the product page, Flit says it offers to remember a word after the user corrects it twice.
Flit describes itself as a Mac-only, on-device speech-to-text app that does not require an account. It requires macOS 14 or later and Apple silicon. The company positions the product as a local alternative to Wispr Flow, which is cloud-based and runs on macOS, Windows, iOS and Android.
The product page lists a Personal tier at a $19 one-time launch price for 50 licenses, down from $49. It also lists a $59 one-time Lifetime tier, discounted from $99.
Flit is built by Atta Ur Rehman Shah, who operates under the Fore Studio name. Fore Studio also builds StartupBase, AcquireBase and Emoji Anywhere, and lists Rimlight as a coming-soon macOS screen recorder.
The company announced the news in a post on X.
