§ Migrate from Superwhisper

Migrating from Superwhisper

Both apps are local-first dictation on Mac. The main upgrades in Dettivo are bundled meeting capture, the developer surface (CLI + REST + MCP), Quick Note to a folder, and explicit context-aware Enhanced mode. The migration is light — most muscle memory carries over.

Who this is for

Superwhisper users curious about Dettivo, or upgrading because they need meeting capture, agent integration, or Obsidian-friendly Quick Note.

What maps cleanly

Local STT, hotkey-driven capture, direct insertion, custom dictionaries, replacement rules. All present in both. Settings › Models is the analog of Superwhisper's model picker.

What Dettivo adds

Meeting capture

System audio + mic, diarization, AI analysis, recap email automation.

Developer surface

CLI, loopback REST adapter, stdio MCP server.

Quick Note

Separate hotkey to dictate to a folder (your Obsidian vault).

Context-aware Enhanced

Frontmost app + selection + (opt-in) window screenshot for app-aware polish.
