How it works

Three moves. No window to open.

Cue lives in the menu bar. From any app, you dictate, format, and drop the result in place — without touching your mouse.

Hold `Right ⌃`

Speak. Cue captures your voice locally with Apple's on-device SpeechAnalyzer.

Press `⇧⌘G`

Cue sends the transcript to your model for prompt-engineered rewrites.

Select a variant

Pick the rewrite you want. It lands exactly where your cursor was.

Four rewrites, one pick

From rambling to ready.

Every dictation comes back as five takes. Keep the raw transcript, or choose the shape that fits where it's going.

CleanedFiller words and false starts stripped out.

PolishedRewritten as clear, written prose.

Concise promptTightened to the essential instruction.

Structured promptRole, context, and task — formatted for an LLM.

Works in any text field

It lands where your cursor is.

Native apps get the text through Accessibility. Terminals get simulated keystrokes. Either way, Cue types so you don't have to.

The onboarding flow needs a clear empty state and a single primary action. Keep the copy short and lead with the benefit, not the feature.
