Ideas happen everywhere

In the car. On a walk. Between meetings. Your best thinking rarely happens at a keyboard.

Voice notes are a graveyard

You record a thought, then never listen to it again. Raw audio is hard to search, share, or act on.

Transcription alone falls short

Getting words on a screen is step one. What you actually need is something ready to use.

From thought to usable output

VoiceForge captures what you say and structures it into something you can paste, send, or build on.

Instant capture

One hotkey. Start talking. Your words hit the clipboard in under 2 seconds.

Auto-structured output

Raw speech gets cleaned, formatted, and structured. No manual editing.

Learns your voice

A personal voice profile builds over time. Names, jargon, and technical terms get recognized automatically.

Works offline

Local Whisper models for full privacy. Your audio never leaves your machine.

What VoiceForge is

Not a recorder. Not a meeting bot. Not one more tab.
VoiceForge is the shortest path from a thought to clean text, right where your cursor already is.

Hold a key, talk, let go. It is pasted before your hands are back on the keyboard. No app to open, no transcript to copy, no notes graveyard to forget about. You speak in your own words and your tools fill with clean ones.

Pay once, or monthly. Never pay for the AI twice.

The monthly plan starts with a 14-day free trial, cancel before it ends and you won't be charged. Lifetime is a one-time payment, backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

A managed-AI tier (no API key required) is on the roadmap. Email us to join the waitlist and we'll notify you when it launches.

Your key. Your machine. Do the math.

VoiceForge sends your audio straight to your own AI provider with your own key. The AI itself costs cents, and we never see a word of it.

What the AI actually costs you

Transcription billed by your provider, never by us.

$0.63/month

paid to your provider · $0.00 to VoiceForge

2,000
Most voice apps bundle the AI and charge $8 to $15 a month, forever. With BYOK you pay the raw rate. With Lifetime you stop paying us at all.

Estimate at current Groq whisper-large-v3 rates ($0.111/hr), about 130 words per minute, 22 days a month. Cleanup adds a few cents. Your real bill depends on your provider.

Questions, answered

Everything worth knowing before your trial.

Do I need an API key?

Yes. VoiceForge is bring-your-own-key: you paste in your own Groq API key (the free tier is plenty to get started), so you stay in control of your usage and cost. Setup takes about a minute, and we walk you through it right after you sign up.

Is my audio and text private?

Your transcription runs through your own API key, straight to the provider you chose. VoiceForge keeps your transcripts on your own machine and never stores your audio on our servers.

Which platforms are supported?

macOS (both Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows, and Linux (AppImage and .deb). One subscription covers every device you use.

What happens during the 14-day free trial?

You get full access to every feature for 14 days. Cancel anytime before the trial ends and you will not be charged.

What is the difference between Pro and Lifetime?

Pro is $12 per month (or 20% off paid annually). Lifetime is a single $199 payment with no recurring fee. Both are bring-your-own-key and include every feature.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. You can cancel in a couple of clicks, with no emails or hoops and no lock-in.
