Cofactor

Your thoughts move faster than your thumbs.

The idea hits halfway through your walk. By the time you’ve thumbed out half of it, the rest is gone. Cofactor catches it as you say it and types it out clean, in any app on your iPhone or Mac.

The best idea you had today? You lost it typing.

The breakthrough that slipped away

It showed up mid-walk: the hook for the post that finally takes off. You stopped to fix one autocorrect, and the thread was gone.

Dictation that makes more work

Built-in voice typing hands you one breathless run-on. You spend longer fixing it than you would have spent typing.

The replies you keep putting off

The investor, the client, the friend who deserves more than “sounds good.” They wait until you’re at a laptop. Some never hear back.

Your phone should keep up with your brain. We built Cofactor because we were sick of losing good thoughts to bad typing.

Say it the way it comes out. Send it the way you meant it.

Pick an example. Left is what you said, right is what lands in the app.

What you said

What Cofactor wrote

A full keyboard that also listens.

Talk when it’s faster. Type when it isn’t. Same keyboard, every app.

Saved phrases

Your address, your bio, your “thanks, talk soon.” One tap instead of typing it for the hundredth time.

Your vocabulary

Teach it your names, brands and jargon once. It spells them right from then on.

Tone in one tap

Casual for the group chat. Polished for your boss. Same words, right voice.

Swipe typing (Beta)

Glide one-handed when you can’t talk out loud. Turn it on in Settings.

Make it yours

Bigger keys, your number style, accents, and cursor control on the space bar.

On your Mac too

Hit a shortcut, talk, and it lands in whatever app you’re in.

Free. Private. Works with zero bars.

Works offline

Your best ideas don’t wait for Wi-Fi. After a one-time language download, Cofactor runs entirely on your device, so the idea you have in the subway, the parking garage or the backcountry still gets written down.

Free where it counts

Dictation, cleanup and the full keyboard cost you nothing.

Private by default

No account needed to dictate. Nothing is ever sent to a server to be transcribed or formatted, on any plan. Encrypted sync is opt-in.

Never loses a word

Your audio is saved before it’s transcribed. If anything hiccups, that thought is waiting in History, one tap from Retry.

Cloud dictation apps

Send your voice to their servers, so they stop when your signal does.

Built-in dictation

Hands you the words and leaves the cleanup to you.

Cofactor

Clean text, on your device, with or without a connection.

Talking in under a minute.

1

Download Cofactor

Free on the App Store, plus a Mac app.

2

Turn on the keyboard

One switch in Settings. The app walks you through it.

3

Tap the mic and talk

In Messages, Mail, Slack, anywhere you type.

Without Cofactor

Your best ideas keep dying on the walk home. The long replies wait for “later.” Your thumbs stay the bottleneck.

With Cofactor

You catch the idea the second it lands, answer the hard message while you walk, and publish the thing you’d otherwise have forgotten.

Start free. Upgrade when you want more.

Everything you need to talk instead of type is free, with no time limit.

Questions people ask first

Does Cofactor work offline?

Yes. Dictation and formatting run on your iPhone or Mac. On iPhone, the speech language downloads once the first time you use it. After that, no connection needed.

Is it really free?

Yes. Unlimited on-device dictation, the full keyboard, cleanup, writing tones, your vocabulary, saved phrases, history and backup are free. Pro adds custom writing modes, app-specific formatting and advanced cleanup.

Where does my audio go?

It stays on your device. Nothing is sent to a server to be transcribed or formatted, on any plan or model. You only need an account for optional encrypted sync or Team features.

Which devices does it support?

iPhone with iOS 26 or later, and Mac. Android and Windows versions are planned.

What if a dictation fails?

Cofactor saves your audio before it transcribes it, so nothing is lost. Retry it from History.

Your next big idea is on its way. Be ready for it.

Dictation, cleanup and the full keyboard are free. Pro starts with a 30-day free trial.
