01 / TRANSFORM
Make a rough thought clear.
Type !formal, !fix, or any command you define. Flick rewrites the text in the very same field and copies nothing extra.
How commands work →PRIVATE DESKTOP WRITING COMPANION
Stay in flow.
Say it better.
Rewrite a rough thought in place, draft a reply where the conversation already is, or speak instead of typing — with speech models that run entirely on your machine. No new editor. No pasted conversations. No interruptions you didn't ask for.

A SIMPLE, INTENTIONAL FLOW
Your words.
Your next move.
Flick doesn't turn your desktop into another workspace. It joins the one you already have — a shortcut, a tiny pill, a draft — and gets out of the way the moment you're done.

Review, then insert
Edit the draft, copy it, or send it back to the original field. Flick remembers where that field lives.
Read the guarantees
THE WHOLE INTERFACESmall, transparent status pills. One focused composer when a reply needs thought. Nothing else on screen.
Before anything is inserted, Flick re-checks the target field. If you've moved on, the copy stays on your clipboard instead of landing in the wrong place.
THREE WAYS TO KEEP MOVING
One companion.
Three useful moves.
Every task uses the smallest surface that can finish it — a status pill for a rewrite or transcription, a focused composer only when a reply deserves one.
02 / REPLY
Answer with the full context.
Select a message, trigger the reply composer, choose a tone and edit the draft before it goes anywhere.
How replies work →03 / DICTATE
Say it, then keep going.
Trigger dictation, speak, stop. Local models transcribe offline; cloud is opt-in per provider. Meetings get their own mode.

NEW IN RECENT BUILDS
What's new in Flick 2.
The latest releases made dictation broader, meetings useful, and the whole surface feel native.
Hinglish, transcribed
Multilingual Whisper models decode code-mixed Hindi–English speech the way people actually talk.
Meeting notes that hold up
A dedicated mode captures long sessions, separates who said what, and keeps searchable notes on your disk.
370 pinned local models
Filter, compare and one-click-install from a curated shelf — Whisper, Parakeet, Moonshine, Canary, SenseVoice, Voxtral and more.
Windows on ARM
Native ARM64 builds join Apple Silicon, Intel and x64 — the same pill on every desktop.
Custom command templates
Define your own triggers, then export or import the set as JSON — validated, shareable, key-free.
Native to your OS
Real glass surfaces, system shortcuts, automatic light/dark themes and a Spanish interface alongside English.
A LOCAL SHELF OF SPEECH MODELS
Speech that never
leaves the laptop.
Flick ships with a pinned, checksummed shelf of local speech models. Pick a small English-only build for speed or a multilingual one that understands code-switched Hinglish. Cloud transcription only happens if you turn it on and paste your own key — it is never swapped in silently.

Your words stay
under your control.
You choose the context
Replies consider only the text you select. Flick doesn't read your screen and keeps no conversation history.
Insert is target-checked
Switch apps mid-draft and Flick withholds the paste — the finished text waits in the composer and on your clipboard, never in the wrong window.
Keys live in the OS keychain
Provider keys are stored by your operating system — never in prefs files, never logged. Cloud dictation only ever after opt-in, and every transcription run is visible.
