HOUSE RULES
How the pouring works
STEP 1
🎙️

Hold Right Option & talk

Anywhere on your Mac — Mail, Slack, your editor. Hold the key, say the thing, let go. The words type themselves at your cursor. That's a pour: one pour, one dictation.

STEP 2
🔢

Every word counts

Beers keeps a running tally of every word you've served, all on-device. Hit 1,000 and you'll hear the clink — that's a pint in the bank.

STEP 3
🏆

Climb the Pub Wall

Opt in from inside the app and your pints go on the board. Ranks, streaks and bragging rights — first round's on the person in last place.
