Chat, on-device voice, and tools run on your machine. No data sent unless you explicitly approve a cloud plugin.
Real demos across Gmail, brokers, shell, and more
Search, organize, and respond to emails with simple commands. Genie reads your inbox, filters important messages, and drafts replies.
InkFlow is NINX's system-wide writing layer. It works when NINX is in the background: global hotkeys, on-device Whisper STT, optional AI polish, and paste at your cursor.
Speak in any app. On-device Whisper transcribes your voice and pastes polished text at the cursor — Notes, Slack, browsers, IDEs.
Give a spoken command and InkFlow generates new text for you. Highlight a selection first to rewrite emails, docs, or code in place.
Chain modes: dictate first, then speak a transform command. InkFlow applies your instruction to the last dictation output.
A floating status chip appears at the bottom of your screen while recording or processing — even when NINX is not the frontmost app.
MODE: Dictate
