Don’t type.
Just speak into
NINK turns speech into keystrokes on the desktop you already live in. Switch apps, keep talking — everything stays local.
Live · speak → type
The move
Hold Shift, talk, release — text types into the frontmost app. Switch Slack, Docs, Mail, Notes; everything stays on device.

How to, demo, and use cases.
Tray voice writing without shipping audio to a cloud STT hop.
Tray-first voice writing in three beats
Install NINK, grant mic access, then hold Shift and speak into the focused field.
- Download and keep NINK in the menu bar / tray
- Download a Whisper model once (stays on disk)
- Dictate → rewrite locally → paste at the caret
Speak messy · send clean
Your voice is faster than your keyboard.
Most people type around 40 words a minute and speak around 150. NINK closes that gap — ramble once, and finished text lands at your cursor.

Works in
Slack. WhatsApp. Gmail. Docs. Wherever the cursor is.
NINK does not open its own editor. It pastes into the frontmost app — chat, mail, docs, notes, or your IDE — so writing stays where work already happens.

LOCAL BY DESIGN
Flip for the privacy details.
Hover or tap — audio, keys, and offline defaults without the cloud hop.
Security · local storage
Encrypted at the edge. Stored on your device.
NINK is built so voice writing does not need a server. Models, history, and credentials live under your control — cloud is an explicit choice, never a silent path.
Offline Dictate Local default
Audio & Whisper
Capture and STT run on-device. Raw Dictate never uploads audio or transcript to Google.
Models in app data
Whisper and Gemma land only after you click Download — pinned revision, SHA-256, atomic install under NINK app data.
Keys in the OS vault
Optional Google BYOK uses Keychain on macOS and Credential Manager on Windows — not plaintext prefs.
No silent fallback
Local Gemma never auto-switches to cloud. Cloud rewrite runs only when you explicitly select Google AI.
