Custom modes let you decide how Sonora thinks, writes and formats — down to the last comma.

Integrations

Works anywhere

Faster agent handoffs

Use Sonora with Cursor, Claude Code, Amp, Codex or any other agentic coding tool — without lifting your hands to the keyboard.

Lives where you code

It slots into the editor you already have open, so you can drive a fleet of agents faster than you can type.

Less typing, more shipping

Give an agent the full context in one breath instead of three paragraphs of typing.

Also available for iOS

Take Sonora on a walk and keep your tone, punctuation and formatting intact wherever you end up.

There is a whole way of working I'd call "talking code" — you say the intent out loud and stop babysitting the syntax. It only works because dictation finally got good. I've been drafting with @sonoraapp for six weeks and I barely touch the keyboard on first drafts.

Frequently asked questions

Can I try Sonora for free?

Yes. The Free plan is not a trial — it stays free, in every app, with the small on-device models and no card required.

Will it run on an older Intel Mac?

It does, back to macOS 12. On-device models are slower on Intel hardware, so we default those machines to the cloud models.

What is being worked on next?

Shared team vocabularies, a Linux build and per-app mode switching. The public roadmap has the current order.

Can I use one Pro licence on all my devices?

One licence covers every machine you sign in on, desktop and phone. We only ask that it stays with one person.
