Window control
Point anywhere inside a window, hold a chord, and move or resize it directly. No title-bar grab or corner targeting is required, and snapping stays predictable across displays.
macOS 26+ · Apple Silicon · Public Release
Mattouch
Move and resize the window under your cursor with a modifier chord. Dictate in your own words, find a window by its contents, or add local vision and guided automation. Choose the smallest bundle that fits your work. No analytics, automatic reporting, or automatic update checks.

Application features
What Mattouch does
Fast window control at the core. Add dictation, search and local intelligence as your work needs them.
Local by design
No analytics, automatic reporting, or update checks. Network access is used for model downloads and APIs you explicitly configure. Support details are copied locally only when you choose.
Controlled automation
The full tier can plan actions from a plain-language goal, while real clicks and typing stay behind app allowlists and confirmations.
Adaptive dictation
Use Apple Speech, Whisper, Parakeet or Nemotron with explicit model and language readiness. Compare installed engines with Hyper, review disagreements, and see provisional text where the selected engine supports preview.
A microphone you can trust
Choose System Default or a specific microphone without changing the Mac's input setting. Run a five-second level test, then practice with your real dictation hotkey in Settings before using another app.
Your vocabulary, your formatting
Add optional word replacements, reusable snippets and spoken punctuation. Preview drafts before applying them, import or export vocabulary, and choose Preserve, Sentence or Inline text styles globally or per app.
Careful delivery and recovery
Default cleanup preserves code, Markdown and multiline text. Consecutive dictations and in-app copies are coordinated automatically, with rich clipboard protection and safeguards for newer copies. Recent transcripts can be recovered temporarily without a saved transcript history.
Reviewable transcript rewrites
Optionally rewrite a transcript with a local or configured API model, inspect the before-and-after diff, adjust a preset or one-run instruction, regenerate, cancel, edit, or keep the original.
Extensible local models
Browse compatible Hugging Face MLX text models, inspect model metadata and disk requirements, and follow live byte-level download progress from one shared model lifecycle.
New in 1.2 · +ASR and above
Make dictation feel like your Mac
Set up once in Settings → Dictation, then use your hotkey where you write.
1. Check your input
Pick a microphone and test its levels. Check the selected engine's readiness and supported language before recording.
2. Try your real hotkey
Start practice and dictate into the Settings field. Confirm microphone and Accessibility permissions, then choose paste or copy-only delivery.
3. Make the words yours
Add your names, phrases and snippets. Preview optional punctuation and text styles before applying them globally or for one app.
Release bundles
Start small. Add what you need.
Each bundle includes the tiers before it. Choose Window for gestures alone, +ASR for dictation, +OCR for text search, +VLM for local vision, or +Agent for guided actions.

Release notes
What's new in 1.2.1
More reliable automatic dictation delivery, consecutive pastes and rich clipboard preservation.
Consecutive dictation, handled automatically
Each dictation and in-app copy waits its turn while the current paste completes. Ordinary paste remains the default, and clipboard handling finishes in the background without interrupting your workflow.
Preserve newer clipboard content
Automatic restoration protects newer copies, in-place text changes and added rich formats. If the paste data is left unread, the current transcript remains available instead of bringing back an old clipboard value.
Keep each result with its own take
Repeated identical phrases keep independent insertion results. Each take retains its destination app, cancelled work is checked before activation and insertion, and an uncertain direct write is never repeated through paste.
More accurate permission status
Accessibility checks reflect the app's actual permission state, avoiding unnecessary advice to reset an existing grant.

Local means local
Mattouch does not phone home. There is no telemetry, analytics, crash reporting, remote reporting, or automatic update check. If you want a newer version, come back here and compare the release archive yourself.
On-device recognition
Local speech and AI engines process your content on your Mac. You choose which external models to download.
Explicit API choices
Optional rewriting can use an API you configure. Its provider receives the content you send through that workflow.
Your updates, your support report
No automatic update requests or reporting. Copy for support creates an allowlisted clipboard report only when you ask; recordings and transcripts are excluded.
