What is Blink?
Voice control for your Mac. Hold a key, say what you want and let go: Blink opens the app, clicks the button, moves the window or types the words. It runs on your Mac, and most commands are executed in less than 100 ms.
Is anything sent to the internet?
No. Your voice is turned into words on your Mac, and the screen is read through macOS on your Mac. Blink works with Wi-Fi off, has no account and no analytics. The only downloads are the optional models you choose to add.
Which Macs does it run on?
macOS 26 Tahoe or later, on a Mac with Apple silicon. Intel Macs and older versions of macOS are not supported.
How do I use it?
Hold a key (Right Option at first), say what you want and let go. You can pick another key or combination in Settings, or a mouse button. Prefer to hold nothing? Turn on Listen Always: short commands run as soon as you pause, and anything else is ignored.
How fast is it?
Most commands are executed in less than 100 ms after you let go, measured on an M4 Pro. Older Macs may take a little longer. A vaguer request that needs the optional local model takes about a second.
What can I say?
Open apps, click menu items and buttons by name, arrange windows, drag a file onto a folder, switch tabs, search, scroll and type what you dictate. You can also record your own steps as a macro. Settings lists everything Blink understands, with the ways to say each.
What if it misunderstands me?
Press Esc and it stops at once, whatever it is doing. When it isn’t sure what you mean, it asks once and then remembers the word. Risky actions, like quitting an app, deleting or sending, ask before they run.
Why does it need Accessibility and the microphone?
The microphone and Speech Recognition are how it hears you. Accessibility is how macOS lets it read buttons and menus and press them for you. Screen Recording is optional, for reading the screen when nothing else works. Blink asks for each, with the reason, the first time.
Do I have to download the big model?
No. Blink works with Apple’s speech built into macOS. A faster speech model (about 500 MB) and a local model for vaguer requests (about 7 GB) are optional downloads. Both run on your Mac.
Does it work in other languages?
Not yet. Blink understands English only.
Which browsers can it control?
Safari, Chrome, Brave, Arc, Edge and Vivaldi. Firefox works through Accessibility only, so it can press what macOS can see but not read the page the way it does in the others.
How is it different from macOS Voice Control or Dictation?
Blink is made for quick everyday actions: hold a key, say it, done, without a wake word or a screen full of numbers, and it learns your words. macOS Voice Control is built to run a Mac entirely without a mouse or keyboard. If you need that, use it.
What does it cost?
$19.99 per Mac, paid once. There is no subscription. The price goes up in rounds as copies sell, and several licenses in one order cost less each.
Can I try it first?
Yes. A few commands run without a license, then Blink asks for a key. And if it isn’t for you, you get your money back within 7 days: write to support@getbl.ink.
Do I get updates?
Your license covers the version you bought and the updates released for it. Blink asks before it installs one.
Can I use it on more than one Mac?
One license is for one Mac. For more Macs, buy more licenses in the same order at a discount and assign each one after paying.
Something is broken, or I have an idea.
