Open beta · First-run guide

From installer to text at your cursor.

If you’ve never used Luphia: install the Windows or Mac app (or try the live browser demo), sign in with Google, hold the hotkey, and speak. No waitlist. No credit card. Tell us what breaks at support@luphia.ai.

If Edge or SmartScreen blocks the installer: Keep → Keep anyway, then More info → Run anyway. The build is code-signed (Vincent Ippolito).

Step 1

Install the desktop app

Windows: the one-click installer opens Luphia when it finishes. Mac: open the notarized DMG, drag Luphia to Applications, then launch it from Applications — not from the disk image. Prefer a preview first? Use the live browser demo — same Google account and Grok path, but it does not type into Word, Slack, or your other desktop apps.

  • Windows 10/11 (x64) or macOS (Apple Silicon or Intel)
  • Google sign-in — no credit card for Free
  • Need a Windows ZIP instead? Portable download

Step 2

Sign in with Google or X

Continue with Google or X in the app. A browser window opens, then returns you here. Same account as the website. Free to start — no API key, no card.

  • Use the Google or X account you’ll keep for Luphia
  • Pro is optional later (trial when offered)

Step 3

Hold the hotkey

Click into the app you want to type in — Word, Slack, a browser, Cursor — then hold the hotkey. A floating pill appears. Windows: Ctrl+Alt+Space. Mac: Control+Option+Space (not Command — that’s Spotlight). You can change the shortcut later in Settings.

  • Hold to talk for short bursts
  • Double-tap the same keys for hands-free

Step 4

Speak naturally

Keep holding and talk. The pill shows Listening… while xAI Grok hears you. Release the keys (or click Done) when you’re finished. Cancel with Esc if you want to throw the take away.

Step 5

Text lands at your cursor

Grok cleans the take (Refine by default) and inserts it where you were typing. The pill flashes Inserted. On Windows that’s paste, type-at-cursor, or copy-only. On Mac, Luphia pastes with ⌘V.

Use it in your real workflow, then email support@luphia.ai with what worked and what didn’t.
