Chalked is the reply layer for Mac. Open a supported conversation and it prepares what you would actually say from the visible thread, live calendar and sourced working context. Press Tab to insert, hold fn to change the intended outcome by voice, then review and send yourself. Accepted or edited communication can become inspectable evidence, so later replies start smarter. Voice is optional. Nothing auto-sends.
I built Chalked because the hard part of replying usually isn’t writing a sentence. It’s reconstructing what you agreed, whether you’re free, and what this person actually needs.
Most tools either improve wording after you’ve made the decision, or pull you into another inbox. Chalked stays in the conversation you already opened: it reads a bounded slice, prepares a reply in the notch, Tab inserts it, and holding fn lets you change the intended outcome by voice. You still review and send it yourself.
The longer-term bet is that communication should become resolved work. Sourced commitments and decisions can improve the next reply—and give the AI tools you already use cleaner working context.
I’d especially value blunt feedback from agency owners, founders, consultants, recruiters and anyone whose important conversations span several apps: where does Chalked save real reconstruction, and where does it still get in the way?
the "hold fn to revise by voice" bit is what stands out to me over the usual reply-suggestion tools. curious whether that voice pass happens on-device or gets sent off to process, given it's touching your calendar and past commitments in the same breath - that's a different privacy bar than a normal dictation app.
Hi, this looks like a cool project. Is this available on pc? I'm curious about how exactly the app tracks what you write? What sources does it use to figure out the best thing to say?
abt the sourced facts u accepted before, if one goes stale do i hunt it down and delete it myself or does it age out on its own
Tab is the risky part. Typing a reply is slow enough that you re-check what you actually agreed to, and one keystroke removes exactly that pause. The failure mode I'd worry about isn't a bad reply, it's a good one with the wrong date in it, and that goes out faster than anything you wrote by hand. Anything it pulled from the calendar or an old thread should have to survive a glance before Tab does anything.
