Willow

What it does

Willow turns speech into formatted text inserted at your cursor in any text field. You hold a hotkey, speak naturally, and release; filler words are removed and punctuation and formatting are applied automatically. Willow Scribe is a related feature that turns a rough spoken description of what you want to say into polished writing.

People use Willow for messages, emails, replies, documents, and prompts to AI tools. The developer page describes dictating prompts to Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex, plus PR descriptions, tickets, docs, and Slack updates. Listed features include an auto-learning dictionary for names and product terms, saved shortcuts for frequent phrases, dictation in over 100 languages, and an offline mode that runs on the device.

Willow suits individuals and teams that write across many apps. The free Basic plan offers an unlimited lighter speech model, limited personalization, and 20 Scribe uses per week. Pro and Business are paid tiers, and Enterprise is sales-led. Apps are listed for Mac, Windows, and iPhone, with Android marked as coming soon. Starting for free requires no credit card.
