Questions

Do I need a MacBook with a notch?
No. On a MacBook with a notch the drawer opens when you move the pointer to the top of the screen. On other Macs it opens from the menu bar or with the ` key.
Does anything leave my Mac?
No. Clipboard history, notes and shelf files stay on your Mac, and voice is transcribed on-device. The only download is the speech model, once, the first time you use Voice. There’s no account.
What permissions does it ask for?
Microphone, for Voice and note recording. Accessibility, so holding fn works in every app and dictated text can be pasted for you. Everything else works without extra permissions.
How do I install it?
After checkout you’ll get a download link. Open the disk image and drag Little Junk Drawer to Applications. The app is signed and notarized by Apple.
Is it a subscription?
No. It’s a one-time purchase of $9.
