Introducing Dial8

Meet Dial8 — an open-source, AI-powered voice capture and automation tool built for macOS.

Liam Alizadeh·

We're excited to introduce Dial8 — an open-source macOS application that extends your mind through AI-powered voice capture and automation.

Why we built Dial8

Most productivity tools ask you to change how you work. Dial8 takes the opposite approach: it listens, captures, and acts — so you can stay focused on what matters.

Whether you're in a meeting, brainstorming, or just thinking out loud, Dial8 captures everything and turns it into structured, actionable information.

What Dial8 does

  • Speech to Text — System-wide dictation that works anywhere on your Mac
  • Meeting Capture — Automatic recording and transcription of calls
  • AI Chat — Ask questions about your captured content
  • Agentic Actions — Let AI take action on your behalf
  • Relationship Tracking — Never forget who said what

Open Source

Dial8 is open source. We believe the tools that extend your thinking should be transparent, extensible, and owned by you.

Check out the source on GitHub and give us a star if you find it useful.
