Cloudless is the private alternative to paid voice dictation apps. 100% on-device AI — no subscription, no cloud, no one listening. Paying monthly just to dictate? Cloudless does everything the expensive apps do, without sending your voice to a server or charging you a cent. VOICE TRANSCRIPTION Tap the microphone and speak. Cloudless transcribes in real time using a local AI model that runs entirely on your device — no internet required. SMART CLEANUP Basic dictation just transcribes. Cloudless makes it ready to send. Our on-device AI automatically polishes every transcript: removes filler words (um, uh), fixes punctuation, formats numbers, emails, times, and lists. Fully customizable. PRIVACY FIRST All processing happens on your device. No audio is recorded, stored, or sent anywhere. Your voice never leaves your phone. FULL-FEATURED KEYBOARD • AZERTY & QWERTY layouts • Emoji keyboard with recent emojis • Hold space bar to move cursor • One-hand mode • Accent support with long press 25+ LANGUAGES Dictate in your language. More added on request. TRANSCRIPT HISTORY View and manage all your past transcripts in one place. WORKS EVERYWHERE Use Cloudless in any app — Messages, Notes, Mail, WhatsApp, and more. Switch to Cloudless and start typing or dictating instantly.
