Features & Capabilities

Private, on-device dictation for iPhone, iPad & Apple Watch. Speak, refine into your style, paste anywhere — no account, no cloud, no tracking.

Speak however it comes out. Inkrest turns your voice into clean, finished text — right on your iPhone and iPad, with nothing sent to a server.

Most dictation just transcribes. Inkrest goes further: it captures what you say, then quietly refines the "ums," the false starts, and the run-ons into clear, polished prose in the style you choose. Speak a half-formed thought; get back a finished paragraph.

And it all happens on your device. Speech-to-text and the AI rewriting both run locally on Apple silicon. No accounts. No servers. No telemetry. After a one-time model download, Inkrest works with no internet connection at all — on a plane, on a trail, anywhere. Your words never leave your device.

CAPTURE ANYWHERE

  • A system keyboard that turns speech into refined text in any app
  • A home-screen widget and the Action Button for instant capture
  • A Share Sheet to clean up text you already have
  • On Apple Watch: catch a thought from your wrist
  • A Live Activity that keeps your session in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen

BUILT FOR IPAD Inkrest is a real iPad app, not a stretched-up phone screen — a wider dictation layout and a two-column settings view that make the most of the display. Dictate a note, refine it, and move on without leaving the page.

PICK YOUR STYLE The same spoken note, refined for where it's going — Email, Message, Document, Bullets, or Verbatim. Let Inkrest choose, or set it yourself.

SPELLED THE WAY YOU MEAN IT Curated dictionaries plus your own custom terms, so names, jargon, and product names come out right — without spelling them out loud.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No analytics. No crash reporters. No ad SDKs. The only thing Inkrest ever sends over the network is a one-time model download. After that: silence.

NO SUBSCRIPTION. NO ADS. NO ACCOUNT. Inkrest doesn't track you, doesn't show ads, and never asks you to sign in.

Your words, at rest.

I've tried a lot of dictation tools, but Inkrest stands out because of how it refines text based on where it's going. Being able to ramble a thought and have the app automatically format it into a clean Email, Bullet points, or a Document is a game-changer. I never lose a thought. Plus, the fact that it's a native iPad app (not just a stretched-out phone app) is a huge bonus.

It decouples my thinking from writing. I don’t have to worry about structuring my sentences when thinking out loud. I love the privacy. The fact that my thinking and sentences stay local gives me the peace of mind.
