kivi turns your voice into a keyboard: hold Fn, talk, and it types in any Mac app
itsOmSarraf_ · x · 2026-08-20
A hands-on review of kivi (heykivi.ai), a voice dictation app for Mac: hold the Fn key and talk, and it types into any app — Slack, Notes, Messages, Mail, Cursor, even the terminal. It strips filler words like "um," preserves your slang, formats math notation, and handles mid-sentence corrections ("Friday... no wait, Thursday"). The author jokes it even made him drink more water since he now talks instead of types.
