Speak however it comes out. Inkrest is private voice to text for iPhone and iPad: it turns your speech into clean, finished writing right on your device, with nothing sent to a server. It works offline after a one-time download. Most dictation just transcribes. Inkrest goes further: it captures what you say, then quietly refines the "ums," the false starts, and the run-ons into clear, polished prose in the style you choose. Speak a half-formed thought; get back a finished paragraph. And it all happens on your device. Speech-to-text and the AI rewriting both run locally on Apple silicon. No accounts. No servers. No telemetry. After a one-time model download, Inkrest works with no internet connection at all — on a plane, on a trail, anywhere. Your words never leave your device. CAPTURE ANYWHERE - A dictation keyboard for any app: tap the mic, Inkrest opens to listen, and your refined text is ready to insert when you return - A home-screen widget and the Action Button for instant capture - A Share Sheet to clean up text you already have - On Apple Watch: catch a thought from your wrist - A Live Activity that keeps your session in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen BUILT FOR IPAD AND FOLDABLES Inkrest is a real iPad app, not a stretched-up phone screen — a wider dictation layout and a two-column settings view that make the most of the display. On a foldable phone it opens into a two-page desk. TEN STYLES The same spoken note, refined for where it's going: Polished, Email, Meeting Notes, Bullet points, Concise, Social Post, Code Comment, Academic Abstract, Verbatim cleanup, or your own Custom instruction. SPELLED THE WAY YOU MEAN IT Curated dictionaries plus your own custom terms, so names, jargon, and product names come out right — without spelling them out loud. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No analytics. No crash reporters. No ad SDKs. The only thing Inkrest ever sends over the network is a one-time model download. After that: silence. NO SUBSCRIPTION. NO ADS. NO ACCOUNT. Inkrest doesn't track you, doesn't show ads, and never asks you to sign in. Your words, at rest.
