Free · Voice and everyday

Removes the friction
from things you already do.

Every feature replaces something you'd otherwise hunt for in a menu, a shortcut, or another app. You just say it.

Say the word — literally.

Say "Hey Beckon," press ⌘⌥J, or click the floating circle. It's ready whenever you are, from any app, and your voice is never saved.

Gets your names right.

Beckon learns the people, places, and projects you talk about, so it spells them right the first time.

Several things, one sentence.

Ask for three things in one breath and they all get done. It checks with you before anything you can't undo.

Windows where you want them.

A tidy screen, just by saying so: "move this to the left half," "spread my windows," "put them back."

Workspaces on command.

One word opens everything for a project: apps, sites, and folders. Say "close design" when you're done.

Drafts email, notes, and your day.

Say "email Sarah that the demo moved to 3pm" and the draft is waiting in Gmail. Add notes, reminders, and events without typing. Nothing sends without you.

Reads the web out loud.

Get the gist of any page without reading it: "summarize this page," "does this mention batteries?"

Files and clipboard, on demand.

Find "the PDF from yesterday" or "what I copied earlier" in seconds, then drag it wherever you need it.

Explain anything under your cursor.

⌘-right-click anything on screen for a quick explanation, or to rewrite the text you've selected.

Everyday work

Your workday, handled.
Notes, context, and files, taken care of by just asking.

Pro

Never take meeting notes again

Stay in the conversation. A clear summary and a to-do list are ready the moment the call ends.

Works with Zoom, Meet, Teams, FaceTime, and Slack. Audio never leaves your Mac.

Free for 7 days · Pro keeps everything

Pick up exactly where you left off

Say “where was I?” and get your apps, tabs, and docs back in one tap.

Free

Convert any photo or video in seconds

Say “convert,” drop your files in, and drag out the results. No apps, no upload sites, no watermarks. Your files never leave your Mac.

  • HEIC → JPG
  • MOV → MP4
  • Any size

For developers · Free

Stop babysitting your terminals.
Claude Code, checks and deploys, right in the notch.

Answer Claude Code from the notch

When a session wants to run something or asks you a question, the notch shows it wherever you are. Allow it, deny it with a note, or pick an answer. The terminal never waits on Beckon: whoever answers first wins.

Every session at a glance

A dot beside the notch for each session. Click one to jump straight to its terminal, in Terminal, iTerm or VS Code.

Stepped away? Beckon says "site-redesign needs you" out loud.

AI usage before you hit the limit

Claude Code and Codex limits, read from their own logs on your Mac. Codex reports exact numbers; Claude's are an estimate.

Checks and deploys, without opening a tab

GitHub checks and the reviews waiting on you, and every Vercel project you care about, personal and work. Read-only. Tokens stay in your Mac's Keychain.

Free, like the rest of the notch. Works with Claude Code in the terminal, the desktop app and VS Code.

Pro · Research

Say the errand.
Get the answer in about 11 seconds.

Flights, hotels, jobs, gadgets: ask for it and get a clear recommendation with prices, times, and links you can act on. Other research tools keep you waiting two to five minutes. Beckon is done before you'd have opened a second tab.

  • Safe by design: it never logs in, buys, or sends anything for you.
  • Keep going by voice: "give me 3 more," "put these in a note," "email these to Sarah."
  • Your tabs stay exactly as they were. Press Esc to stop anytime.

Pro · Cheapest flights

Not just a flight.
The cheapest one.

Ask for flights and get the lowest fare, not just the first decent one. Beckon finds prices the big booking sites miss, so the savings stay in your pocket.

Try: “Find the cheapest flights to Lisbon in June.”

Chicago → Lisbon

Round trip · June

Example trip
Big booking sites $912
Beckon $734

Out on United, back on TAP Air Portugal

You keep $178
  • Lower fares, straight from the airline

    Airlines often charge less on their own websites than the big booking sites show. You get whichever is cheaper.

  • Cheaper combinations you'd never find

    Fly out on one airline and home on another when that costs less than a round trip. It's where the biggest savings usually hide.

  • The airport that saves you money

    Say New York and you get the best price across JFK, Newark and LaGuardia. The cheaper airport is often one you didn't think of.

  • The same price every time you check

    Some sites nudge the price up when you search the same trip again. With Beckon, check as often as you like.

Mixing airlines means two separate tickets. If your first flight runs late and you miss the second, the second airline doesn't have to rebook you. When the cheapest option works this way, Beckon says so, so you can decide whether the savings are worth it.

Pro · Ask about this

Draw a box.
Understand anything.

Stuck on a formula, a chart, or a paragraph in another language? Draw a box around it and get a plain-English answer right beside it. No copying, no pasting, no new tab.

⌃⌥⌘A or just say “What does this mean?”

Answers before you finish asking.

Your answer starts appearing the moment you let go of the box, so you stay in the flow of what you're reading.

  1. ✓No copying and pasting
  2. ✓No switching apps or tabs
  3. ✓Works on any app, image, or video

Answers that get the context.

Circle a chart and the answer accounts for the caption underneath. Circle one line of a long proof and it knows which lecture it came from. You get answers that fit what you're studying, not guesses.

Your questions, saved for exam week.

Ask follow-ups until it clicks. Every question is kept on your Mac for 30 days, so you can reopen it before the test and pick up where you left off. Passwords and private pages are never saved.

One box, whatever you're learning

  • Explain a formula, a diagram, a term from lecture
  • Translate a reading for language class
  • Summarize a dense chapter or a long thread
  • Get the text off a slide or a paused video
  • Answer it on a practice question, with the reasoning
  • Fix this when your homework code throws an error
  • Draft a reply to your study group
⌃⌥⌘A

Draw a box around anything, or click once to pick what's under your cursor.

⌘ + right-drag

Draw the box in one motion. Let go to ask.

“Translate this”

Ask out loud and hear the answer read back to you.

Your own trigger

Pick any key or mouse button that suits you.

Pro · Watches

Set it once.
Hear when it changes.

Tell Beckon what to keep an eye on: a fare, a price, a job posting, a page. It checks every day, and when something changes, the notch shows you what changed. One click opens it.

  • “Watch flights to Tokyo in March under $700.”
  • “Tell me when the Sony XM5 drops below $300.”
  • “Watch Linear's careers page for design roles.”

Privacy

Built to earn trust,
not to store it.

Here's exactly what Beckon hears, what it keeps, and what leaves your Mac. The whole picture, in plain words.

Stays on your Mac

Listening for "Hey Beckon," understanding your voice, and Beckon's own voice all happen on your Mac. Meeting audio is turned into text right there and then deleted. Only the text is kept, and only on your Mac.

What leaves your Mac

Research, answers, drafts, meeting summaries, and questions about the area you box on screen go online, and send only what each request needs. Research can look, but it can never log in, buy, submit, or send.

Your history, your rules

Your activity history stays on your Mac for 30 days. Banking and health sites are never recorded. Block any site you like, or say "forget the last hour" to erase it.

Every permission is asked with a plain-language reason. Recording anything — a meeting, a note, a command — always requires an explicit action from you.

Accessibility

Your Mac,
when your hands can't.

Everything Beckon does works by voice, so you can use your whole Mac without a keyboard or trackpad. For anyone with limited mobility, chronic pain, or an injury, that's a real everyday tool. Nothing to memorize. Just speak.

Full hands-free control

Every feature works without touching the keyboard or trackpad — launch apps, browse the web, write notes, take meetings, run research errands.

For recovery and RSI

Keep working while you heal. Rest your wrists between tasks. Beckon lets you get things done on the days you can't type comfortably.

Sits with VoiceOver

Beckon works alongside the accessibility features already built into macOS. Use them together for a fully hands-free Mac.

If Beckon would help you or someone you know and cost is a barrier, please get in touch — we offer free licenses on request.
