The app operates by holding a key, speaking, and then releasing the key to transcribe the words into the active application. This functionality is enhanced by the ability to interact with the screen, allowing Yubi to assist in navigating and executing tasks within applications. Users can dictate unlimited text, with tasks being counted separately, offering different plans for varying levels of usage.
Yubi's pricing model includes a free tier with 10 tasks per month, a personal plan with 60 tasks for ¥1,480, and a pro plan with 150 tasks for ¥2,980. Yearly plans offer two months free, priced at ¥14,800 and ¥29,800 respectively. The app also integrates with AI tools like Claude, Codex, and ChatGPT, allowing for enhanced functionality without additional task costs.
Privacy is a core feature of Yubi, with all dictation and task history stored locally on the Mac. The app requires microphone and accessibility permissions but does not request screen recording access. Users can manage their data and privacy settings within the app, ensuring transparency and control over their information.
