Ghostly for developers

Dictate code,
not keystrokes.

Prompt Cursor, Claude Code, and ChatGPT at speaking speed. Ghostly transcribes on-device, handles camelCase, kebab-case, and @file.ts references, then pastes into whatever has focus.

Typing is the bottleneck

Your keyboard is the slowest thing in your stack.

Your LLM drafts in seconds. Your build runs in seconds. The prompt you're typing takes thirty. Ghostly closes that gap — you speak, it lands correctly formatted in the active app.

01 · Prompting

Cursor, Claude, v0, Windsurf

You type five words, backspace three, re-word, send. Ghostly lets you say the whole thought in one breath — punctuated and paragraph-formatted on paste.

02 · Reviewing

PR comments & diff approvals

Voice-command approve and reject to blaze through Cursor diffs. Dictate review comments that sound like you, not a Jira ticket.

03 · Shipping

Release notes, Linear, docs

Write the commit message, the Linear comment, and the changelog by talking to your Mac. Per-app prompts keep each output in the right tone.

Syntax-smart

Better prompts,
better code.

Ghostly understands the words developers actually say. Handles camelCase, snake_case, and kebab-case. Recognizes Supabase, Postgres, JWT. Converts "at helper dot swift" into a proper @helper.swift tag.

Per-app profile for Cursor keeps prompts terse, no niceties.
Personal dictionary learns your service names, acronyms, teammates.
Works inside agent chats — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, v0.

You said "fetch user by I D, camel case" → fetchUserById Paste

You said "at helper dot swift" → @helper.swift Paste

You said "call super base, kebab" → call-supabase Paste

You said "J W T token store, snake" → jwt_token_store Paste

You said "env file dot local" → .env.local Paste

src/api/fetchUser.ts · Cursor agent diff Listening

export async function fetchUser(id: string) {

- const res = await fetch(`/api/users/${id}`);

+ const res = await fetchWithRetry(`/api/users/${id}`, { retries: 3 });

if (!res.ok) throw new ApiError(res.status);

return res.json();

}

say "approve" or "reject"

Voice commands

Approve, without touching the keyboard.

Map spoken phrases to keystrokes. Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, and any app with a keyboard shortcut becomes voice-controlled.

"approve" → ⏎ Accept diff

"reject" → ⎋ Discard

"commit it" → ⌘⏎ Submit

"next file" → ⌘] Navigate

Private by default

Your code doesn't leave your machine.

Transcription runs on-device with Whisper, Parakeet, or Moonshine. If you enable AI cleanup, only the resulting text is sent — never audio, never your screen. Apple Intelligence keeps cleanup local too.

Whisper, Parakeet (Nvidia), Moonshine (streaming)

Bring your own key: OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Z.AI

Or 100% on-device with Apple Intelligence

Works offline after first-run model download

Dictates in the languages your repo is written in

TypeScript JavaScript Python Rust Go Swift Kotlin Java Elixir Ruby PHP C++ C# Svelte React Tailwind SQL GraphQL YAML bash

100+ supported languages via Whisper. Code-aware prompts keep technical vocabulary spelled right.
