Homebrew

brew tap ugurcandede/tap
brew install --cask sotto

That link always points at the newest build. Unzip it and move sotto.app to your Applications folder.

The app is ad-hoc signed rather than notarized, so the first launch needs a right-click → Open, or:

xattr -cr /Applications/sotto.app

The Homebrew cask does this for you.

Requires Swift 6.0 or later.

git clone https://github.com/ugurcandede/sotto.git
cd sotto
swift build -c release
./scripts/bundle.sh .build/release/sotto
open sotto.app

scripts/bundle.sh wraps the binary in an .app and ad-hoc signs it, which is what makes the menu bar item and login item work.

macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later · Apple Silicon or Intel

brew uninstall --cask sotto

Installed by hand? Quit sotto, drag sotto.app to the Trash, and if you want its settings gone too:

defaults delete com.ugurcandede.sotto

Quitting restores the microphone key to Dictation on its own — sotto removes the remap as it exits, and the remap never survives a logout anyway.
