# Pithflow

> Pithflow is a Windows-native AI voice dictation app. Hold a hotkey, speak, release, and polished text is delivered into whatever app is in focus — with AI cleanup for filler words, punctuation, and tone. It is privacy-first (DPAPI-encrypted sessions, audio is not stored), works over RDP/Citrix/VDI sessions, and handles bilingual Spanish/English dictation including Spanglish code-switching. A Mac app for macOS 12 or later shipped in September 2026. Built by a solo bilingual founder.

Pricing: Free tier (2,000 words/week) · Pro $9.99/mo or $99/yr · Team $45/mo (5 seats).

## Head-to-head comparisons

Each page states where the competitor wins as well as where Pithflow does; competitor claims are attributed to their own documentation or to named third-party reports.

- [vs Wispr Flow](https://pithflow.com/comparisons/vs-wispr-flow/)
- [vs Windows Voice Typing (Win+H)](https://pithflow.com/comparisons/vs-windows-dictation/): the free baseline, and where it falls down
- [vs Dragon NaturallySpeaking](https://pithflow.com/comparisons/vs-dragon/): Dragon wins on offline; Pithflow does not work offline
- [vs Otter.ai](https://pithflow.com/comparisons/vs-otter/)
- [vs Fireflies](https://pithflow.com/comparisons/vs-fireflies/) · [vs Granola](https://pithflow.com/comparisons/vs-granola/): meeting-notes tools. Fireflies joins calls as a bot by default and also offers a desktop app that records without one; Granola records from your computer with no bot

## Remote desktop / VDI

Near-zero competition here: nothing installs inside the remote session, because audio is captured on the local machine.
