Installation

Download and install Glaido on macOS or Windows.

Glaido is a native desktop application for macOS and Windows. It runs in the background and works with any app where you can type.

System requirements

  • macOS 13 (Ventura) or later
  • Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) or Intel Mac
  • A working microphone (built-in or external)
  • Internet connection (for transcription processing)

Download

  1. 1

    Download the installer

    Visit glaido.com and click Download for Mac. The .dmg file downloads.

  2. 2

    Install the app

    Open the downloaded .dmg file and drag Glaido into your Applications folder.

  3. 3

    Launch Glaido

    Open Glaido from your Applications folder or Spotlight. The setup wizard opens on first launch. See Setup & Permissions.

Updates

Glaido keeps itself up to date. It checks for a new version in the background, downloads it, and waits until you're not dictating before installing. Then it restarts, and if the window wasn't focused it comes back quietly in the background.

To check right now, open Settings > Account, find App updates, and click Check for updates.

Uninstalling

  • macOS: drag Glaido from the Applications folder to the Trash.
  • Windows: uninstall Glaido from Settings > Apps (or the Control Panel).

Uninstalling doesn't touch your account or subscription. Sign back in after you reinstall.
