Ask Lippye to act
Enable Lippye Actions in Settings. Press and release fn + control, then speak one command, such as “Open Chrome and navigate to yahoo dot com slash finance.” No wake phrase is needed for this shortcut.
Pin a thought
Press fn + S and release to create a pinned sticky and start listening. Press Fn to finish. After about 20 seconds of silence, listening stops and empty voice drafts close. Find your stickies in the main window’s Sticky Notes section. Closing a sticky saves it; use the Closed view to reopen it.
Mac questions
Which permissions does Lippye need?
Dictation needs Microphone access. Actions voice recognition also needs Speech Recognition access and an installed on-device English recognizer. App and window controls need Accessibility. Some actions request permission for the destination app only when used.
Why does Fn + Control do nothing?
Check that Lippye Actions and shortcuts are enabled in Settings and Accessibility access is allowed. Press and release both keys, then speak. Actions are off by default; continuous listening is optional.
Can I use Actions without always listening?
Yes. Turn off Listen for voice commands and use Fn + Control to speak one command. You can also use typed commands in Lippye Actions.
What is the difference between Fn and Fn + S?
Fn starts dictation for a selected text field. Fn + S creates a sticky and listens. Fn + I creates a Lippye note and listens. Press Fn to finish either note, or pause for about 20 seconds. Fn + Control starts one Lippye Action.
Where are saved and closed stickies?
Open Sticky Notes in Lippye’s sidebar. The Open view shows active stickies; the Closed view lets you reopen saved ones. Show Sticky Notes can hide floating stickies without closing them.
Does Lippye need the internet to process speech?
Dictation and Actions recognition and interpretation run on your Mac. Opening websites or using connected apps can use the internet. Actions voice commands currently use English.

Start a dictation
Choose Start Dictation, allow microphone access, speak, then select Stop. Lippye processes the transcript on your device. The first recording can take longer while bundled models load.
Edit and save
Select a transcript or note and open Keyboard. With nothing selected, it starts an empty draft. Use Save Note or Update Note to keep your changes.
Share your words
Copy text to paste elsewhere, or choose Export to Notes and a destination in the share sheet. Lippye’s keyboard works inside Lippye; it does not replace the system keyboard.
Vision Pro questions
How do I create Notes and Stickies in version 1.1?
In Ideas / Notes, choose New Note to type or New Voice Note to dictate. In Stickies, choose New Sticky to open its own window. Your edits save locally.
How do I change a sticky’s color or edit its text?
Tap one of the six color circles above the text. Use the microphone to dictate at the cursor or replace selected text. The toolbar offers Restructure, Rephrase, Fix Grammar, and Undo. Review the result before sharing.
Where are closed Stickies and the main Lippye window?
Closing a sticky’s window keeps its saved text. Reopen it from Stickies → Closed. From a floating sticky, choose Open in Stickies to bring back the main Lippye window. Pinning sorts the library; it does not lock a window above other apps.
Does dictation need internet access?
No. Speech recognition and cleanup use the included models on your Vision Pro.
Where did my dictation go?
Dictation history expires after 24 hours. Saved notes remain until deleted. Recently Deleted allows recovery for 24 hours, with expiry applied while the app is active.
Are my notes backed up?
The local library is excluded from automatic device backups. Export important notes before uninstalling Lippye or replacing your device.
Why is the microphone not working?
Check Lippye’s microphone permission in visionOS Settings. Return to Lippye and start a new dictation.
Can I use a Bluetooth keyboard?
Pair the keyboard in Apple Vision Pro Settings, then type in Lippye. Lippye’s Bluetooth button provides setup guidance.
What if the transcript is inaccurate?
Compare the Original transcript, edit the result, and review before sharing. Accuracy varies with language and recording conditions.
