SlackCan you send a recap of what we decided on rollout?
We are going with the staged rollout on Thursday. First batch is internal, then the customer cohort on Friday if dashboards stay green.
Listening…
⌘⇧D to insertSpeak into the apps you already live in
Dictation is for the rest of your day, not just Grafite. Press the shortcut, talk, and text lands in Slack, Mail, Google Docs, Notion, Word, Linear, your browser, or any other field you would type into.
- Works across Mac and Windows apps you already use
- Apple Speech, On Device Pro, or Grafite Cloud Pro
- Private history, kept out of your note timeline
A Grafite note without leaving your flow
Dictation types into other apps. Quick notes and voice notes save inside Grafite. From any window, open a compact note to jot something, or start a voice memo that transcribes into your Knowledge Graph.
- Quick note ⌘⇧N / Ctrl+Shift+N
- Voice note ⌘⇧V / Ctrl+Shift+V
- Opens in the full editor when you want headings, tasks, or Ask Grafi

Why go native?
Browser + Desktop = Complete coverage
Grafite works beautifully in the browser. The desktop app adds native capabilities that browsers simply can't provide.
System audio
Capture what you hear through speakers or headphones, something browsers can't do reliably on their own.
Capture from anywhere
Dictation into other apps, plus compact quick notes and voice notes, all from global shortcuts.
Native feel
Real OS notifications, system-level audio, and a small install. A true companion, not a bulky wrapper.

Questions
Do I need the desktop app to use Grafite?
No. Grafite works fully in your browser and on iOS. The desktop app is optional for system audio, system-wide dictation, compact quick capture windows, and native notifications.
Is the desktop app free?
Yes. The desktop app is Grafite Core, which is free forever. Grafite Cloud is free for a limited time. Download Core from Settings → Desktop App.
What operating systems are supported?
The Mac app requires macOS 13 (Ventura) or later, on Apple Silicon and Intel. A Windows desktop app is in progress (Windows 10 22H2+ or Windows 11) and is designed for the same workflows: meetings, dictation, and quick capture.
How do I update the desktop app?
The app checks for updates automatically. You can also check manually from the tray menu or Settings → Desktop. Updates are signed and verified for security.
