About
Larken is an AI voice keyboard for iPhone and Apple Watch. Tap the mic, talk naturally, and Larken inserts clean, formatted text at your cursor in almost any app you type in. It removes the ums, fixes punctuation, and shapes your text in your style, while keeping names, numbers, dates, and every "not."
YOU BRING THE AI. WE BUILD THE KEYBOARD.
Connect your own OpenAI or ElevenLabs API key. Your voice goes straight from your iPhone to your provider, you choose the models, and you pay your provider directly for what you use. Don't have a key? Choose Full service and we handle everything.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Tap the mic on the Larken keyboard. iOS doesn't let keyboards use the microphone, so Larken opens and starts listening.
2. Tap the back link in the top-left corner to return to your app, and keep talking. The keyboard shows that Larken is listening, with Stop and Cancel.
3. Pause for 3 seconds or tap Stop. Larken transcribes, formats, and inserts your text once, right where you were typing.
4. With Keep mic ready on, your next dictation starts straight from the keyboard for the time you choose. The orange dot in the status bar shows whenever the mic is on.
YOUR STYLE
- Verbatim, General, and Professional styles built in
- Create custom templates: set the tone, purpose, length, structure, greeting, and sign-off
- Switch styles right from the keyboard before you talk
- Reformat anything in History into another style
A REAL KEYBOARD
- A full typing keyboard with autocorrect and a space-bar cursor
- Typing works without Full Access (needed only for dictation), and Larken doesn't collect what you type
ON YOUR WRIST AND ON THE GO
- Apple Watch: tap and talk, then send it as a message, copy it on your iPhone, or insert it from your iPhone keyboard
- Watch complication and a "Start dictation" shortcut
- Works with your AirPods mic, and your car's mic when your iPhone is connected to CarPlay
PRIVACY YOU CONTROL
- No account with us: no sign-up, no email, no password
- Larken's servers never receive your voice or words. Recordings stay encrypted on your iPhone for 10 min to redo (24 h if one fails), then are deleted
- Your key stays in your iPhone's Keychain and is never sent to us
- Larken asks before sending anything to a provider, which handles it under its own policies
- History saves text only, encrypted on your iPhone, for as long as you choose (or not at all)
- Settings > Request log shows every request Larken makes and where it went
PLANS
Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial (one trial per Apple ID across all Larken plans).
- Your own key: $0.99 per month or $9.99 per year. Includes every Larken feature. Provider usage is billed separately by OpenAI or ElevenLabs. With an ElevenLabs key alone you get transcription with basic cleanup; add an OpenAI key for full formatting and templates.
- Full service: $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year. No key needed. Includes up to $5 of AI usage per month and $1 per day. The app shows your usage; at the limit, new recordings pause until it resets. No overage charges.
US prices; the App Store shows your local price.
GOOD TO KNOW
- Requires iOS 17 or later; the Apple Watch app requires watchOS 10 or later
- Needs an internet connection; there's no offline mode
- Optimized for English
- Password fields, phone-number fields, and some apps switch to the iPhone keyboard automatically
- Recordings stop after 3 seconds of silence or at your limit of 1, 2, or 5 minutes

What's New in Larken
1.0.3
October 23, 2026
What's new • Request log: see every request Larken makes, what it was for, how long it took and whether it worked. Tap one to see exactly what was sent and received. Your API keys are always hidden. • Key terms now go only to your transcription provider as a hint, and are no longer sent to the formatter. • Dictating a list of your own key terms no longer gets mistaken for an error.
