# Sayonic A voice assistant for controlling Mac apps, dictating text, finding files, and adding events. - Findings24: - Site: - Preços: Freemium - Categorias: Voz para Texto, Copilotos de IA, Assistente pessoal de IA ## O que é Sayonic? Sayonic is a voice assistant for Mac that runs from a small pill at the edge of the screen or in the notch. Tap it and describe a task in plain English: Sayonic can open or switch apps, type into the active field, find files, control media in Chrome and Safari, and add Apple Notes or Calendar entries. It answers aloud and displays its words in the pill as it works. The assistant is designed for short Mac actions as well as spoken back-and-forth. It asks when a request is unclear, lets users stop or update an unfinished task, and supports typed requests when speaking is inconvenient. File searches use Spotlight and can search filenames or document text in iCloud Drive and added folders. Sayonic runs on Apple silicon and Intel Macs with macOS 14 Sonoma or later. It understands English and requires the internet for voice and its AI brains. Users can choose Sayonic Cloud, their own API keys, or supported coding agents, depending on their setup and plan. ## O que Sayonic pode fazer? ### Voice control for Mac Open or switch apps, press Return, adjust volume, open Mission Control, lock the screen, and control playback in Chrome or Safari with natural spoken requests. ### Dictation into the active field Speak text into the message, document, search box, or other field currently selected in a Mac app. A dictated note can be sent directly to Apple Notes. ### Spotlight-based file search Find files by name or by words inside documents, including files in iCloud Drive and folders the user adds. Sayonic opens matching files but does not open apps, scripts, or installers. ### Notes and Calendar actions Say a note once to add it to Apple Notes, or describe an event so Sayonic adds it to Calendar. Sayonic does not read the user's calendar. ### Clarification and task control When a step is ambiguous, Sayonic asks before proceeding. Users can add a task while it runs, stop it from the pill, and resume unfinished tasks later. ### Multiple input and AI options Use voice or type through the pill. The assistant can use Sayonic Cloud, personal API keys, local models through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or supported CLI coding agents with configurable access levels. ## Casos de uso ### Dictate while working in another app Click into a message, document, or search field, tap the pill, and speak. Sayonic types the words into the selected field, which is useful when composing text without switching to a separate dictation tool. ### Capture quick notes and appointments Say a short note such as a shopping reminder for Apple Notes, or describe a meeting with its time so Sayonic adds the event to Calendar. ### Find a document from memory Ask for a file using its name or remembered document text. Sayonic searches supported Mac locations through Spotlight and opens the matching result. ### Control browser media and apps hands-free Ask Sayonic to open YouTube in Safari, switch apps, or pause, play, or mute media in Chrome or Safari without navigating menus manually. ### Talk to a coding agent Use a supported CLI coding agent through Sayonic's voice interface. Each agent retains its own sign-in, while Sayonic's access settings can be Limited, Ask first, or Full access. ## Perguntas frequentes ### What Mac versions and hardware does Sayonic support? Sayonic runs on Apple silicon and Intel Macs with macOS 14 Sonoma or later. ### Do I need my own API keys? No. Pro and Max use Sayonic Cloud credits without requiring personal API keys. The BYOK plan supports your own API keys or a coding agent with its own sign-in. ### Does Sayonic work offline? Voice and the AI brains require an internet connection. The licence keeps working for up to seven days without a connection. ### What languages does it understand? The site states that Sayonic understands natural spoken English. No fixed command vocabulary is required. ### Is audio saved, and what leaves the Mac? Audio recordings are not saved. When you make a request, your voice and a short summary of the screen can be sent to the selected brain; the site says nothing is sent between requests. API keys are kept in the Mac's Keychain. ## Informações rápidas - **Category**: Mac voice assistant and productivity tool - **Platform**: macOS 14 Sonoma or later - **Hardware**: Apple silicon and Intel Macs - **Input**: Natural spoken English or typed requests - **Plans**: BYOK, Pro, and Max; billed per Mac - **Supported coding agents**: Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Cursor CLI, OpenCode, Qwen Code, and Kiro CLI
