How it works

1

Download & open

Download the zip, unzip it, and move VibeTalk to your Applications folder. Double-click to open. If macOS says it can't verify the app, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click 'Open Anyway'.

2

Grant permissions

The app will ask for Microphone, Speech Recognition, and Accessibility access. Say yes to all three — this lets VibeTalk hear you, transcribe your voice, and paste text where you're typing.

3

Click any text field & press fn+Space

Click into any text box — a browser, Slack, VS Code, Notes, anywhere. Then press fn+Space (or Ctrl+Shift+Space) and start talking.

4

Press fn+Space again — done

When you're done speaking, press the hotkey again. Your words are transcribed on your Mac and pasted right where your cursor was. That's it.

5

Drop screenshots into AI chat

Click the purple image button to open recent Desktop screenshots. Drag one into your AI chat, or click it to paste.

The vibe coding toolbar that lets you easily record and drag and drop screenshots

Click mic or fn+Space

If macOS says it can't verify the app: go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → click “Open Anyway”. This happens because VibeTalk is free and not notarized through the Apple Developer Program.

Buy me a coffee

VibeTalk is free and always will be. But building and maintaining it takes time. If it's saved you from typing, a coffee goes a long way.
