Why ADHD minds choose voice

Your keyboard isn't
built for your brain.

Three ways friction silently kills your best ideas — and how Lazytype removes every one of them.

Friction kills the idea

Opening a notes app, clicking a text field, finding the right document — by the time you've done that, the thought is gone. One held key is all Lazytype needs.

Typing interrupts thinking

For ADHD brains, the mechanical act of typing can break concentration and lose the thread. Speaking is more natural — your thoughts stay intact.

Context switching is the enemy

Lazytype pastes directly into whatever app is in focus. No app switch, no clipboard, no interruption to what you were doing.

How it works

Three steps to zero friction.

There is no onboarding. No tutorial. Just install and go.

1

Install

Download the app. It runs in the background. No configuration required to get started. Works on Windows 10/11 and macOS 12+.

2

Configure (optional)

Pick your language, choose your model. Or just leave the defaults — they're already good. Takes 60 seconds if you want to.

3

Hold, speak, done

Hold Left Ctrl, say your thought, release. Your words appear wherever your cursor is. That's the entire interface — forever.

Built for how ADHD brains work

Every detail earned its place.

Features designed specifically to remove friction, reduce cognitive load, and get out of your way.

One key. That's the whole interface.

Hold left Ctrl, speak, release. There is no other step. No microphone to activate, no app to open, no field to click. Just the idea and the key. You'll be using it within five minutes of installing.

Works in whatever you're already doing

Email, Slack, Notion, Obsidian, a random text file — Lazytype types into the focused window. No context switch required. The thought goes exactly where you need it.

"Scratch that" for when your mouth outran your brain

Say "scratch that" to delete the last dictation. Change your mind as fast as your mind changes — no undo shortcut to hunt for, no selection to make. Just say it and it's gone.

Realtime preview so nothing gets lost

A floating bar shows your words appearing as you speak — before you've finished. You know the capture is working without having to check. The anxiety of "did it get that?" goes away completely.

Real users, real thoughts

It clicked immediately.

From people who stopped losing ideas.

★★★★★

"I've tried every notes app, every system. The problem was never where to store ideas — it was capturing them before my brain moved on. Lazytype is the first thing that actually works with how I think."

"I use it a hundred times a day without thinking about it. That's the point — when something requires no thought to use, it becomes automatic. My output doubled in the first week."

Questions

Honest answers.

How is Lazytype different from other dictation apps for ADHD?
The key difference is friction. Most apps require opening something, navigating somewhere, activating a mode. Lazytype is always on. One key, anywhere, instantly. That's the whole thing.
Can I use it to capture random thoughts throughout the day?
Yes — that's exactly the use case many ADHD users find most valuable. Hold the key in any app and speak your idea. It lands in whatever you're already working in.
Does the "scratch that" command work reliably?
Yes. Say "scratch that" at any point and the previous dictation block is deleted. It's handled locally so it's fast and reliable.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, 14 days with all features and no credit card required. If it doesn't help, you've lost nothing.
