What it does

Fn

Dictate

Push-to-talk transcription. Hold Fn, speak, release — the transcript appears in the pill at the bottom of your screen.

⌃+Fn

Paste

Polishes the raw transcript and pastes it wherever your cursor is — Slack, your editor, the browser address bar, anywhere.

⇧+Fn

Command

"Open Linear in my work profile." "Take a screenshot." "Play music." Voice commands run through the Claude Agent SDK.

How it works

Transcription runs on-device via WhisperKit on the Apple Neural Engine. Your audio never leaves your Mac.

Claude cleans the raw Whisper output — punctuation, casing, removing fillers — without paraphrasing. Voice commands execute through the Claude Agent SDK with a tightly scoped Bash tool.

Hark is bring-your-own-Claude: either a Claude Code subscription token (the same one the claude CLI uses) or an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY. We never bundle credentials.

Install

  1. Download the latest DMG and drag Hark into Applications.
  2. On first launch, grant Microphone and Accessibility permissions when prompted.
  3. Set up Claude in the Settings tab — either run claude setup-token or paste an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY.
