Hold a key. Talk the way you actually talk. Release — and clean, punctuated writing lands at your cursor, in whatever app you're working in.
Magana is in private use today. Be first when it ships. No spam, ever.
Press and hold right Option. No wake word, no app to open — nothing listens until you do.
Half-sentences, second thoughts, the client name only you know how to spell. Talk like you talk.
Finished writing appears at your cursor — punctuated, capitalized, cleaned of every um and false start.
Speech is transcribed by a model running on your Mac's own silicon. Audio never touches a server.
Email, docs, scripts, chat. If you can type there, you can talk there.
The ums, repeats, and abandoned starts disappear. Your wording, your voice — minus the noise.
Dictating into email sounds like email. Into chat, like chat. Magana matches the destination.
Clients, brands, places — teach Magana once and it never misspells them again.
Nothing records in the background. The mic captures only while your finger is on the key.
Magana is the Hausa word for speech. For talk — the thing you say out loud before you ever reach for a keyboard.
Hausa is spoken by roughly a hundred million people across West Africa, from Kano to Niamey. It gave us one word for the whole idea.
You talk. It writes.
"I grew up in Niger, where Hausa filled the market and the radio. I built Magana because the fastest writing I do is the kind I say out loud."Souley Oumarou — filmmaker & founder, Dayton, Ohio
