# Voice control for your Mac

Sayonic is a small pill on your Mac that you tap and talk to in plain words. It opens and switches apps, finds files, plays or pauses a browser tab, adds Calendar events and writes Apple Notes.

## How it works

1. **Tap the pill.** It sits at the edge of your screen or in the notch, out of the way until you need it.
2. **Say what you need.** Talk the way you would to a person, second thoughts and all. No commands to learn.
3. **Sayonic does it.** It answers out loud and shows the words in the pill as it goes. When a step isn't clear, it asks.

## Things you can say

- “Open YouTube in Safari”
- “Pause the video in Chrome”
- “Turn the volume down a bit”
- “Open my latest invoice PDF”
- “Lunch with Sara tomorrow at one”

## The facts

- macOS 14 Sonoma or later
- From $3.99/month for each Mac
- Apple silicon and Intel
- Speak naturally in English

## Questions

**Do I need to learn commands?**

No. Speak naturally, the way you would to a person; there are no set commands to learn.

**Do I need my own API keys?**

No. Sign in to Sayonic Cloud in Settings and it runs on Cloud credits: Pro includes 6,000 every month and Max 25,000. If you'd rather use your own API keys, the BYOK plan is $3.99 a month: add them in Settings → API Keys.

**Does it work offline?**

No. Voice and the brains need the internet. Your licence keeps working for 7 days without a connection.

**Does it work on Intel Macs?**

Yes. Sayonic runs on Apple silicon and Intel Macs with macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
