About Dot & Dash

Dot & Dash is a Morse code machine for the Mac. Hold Space or press the knob: a tap is a dit, a hold is a dah, and the tape prints as you key.

Twenty short chapters take you from E and T to the whole alphabet, the figures, punctuation and the common prosigns, two or three characters a chapter. A five-minute daily review brings back what needs it most.

Type a message and the machine sends it, or key it yourself and watch it decode. Paste dots and dashes to get text, or text to get Morse. Type Anywhere keys Morse into any app from the menu bar. Share a message as a tape image, audio or video.

Free for 24 hours, then $29 once for up to 3 Macs. Seven finishes, works offline, no account. macOS 14 or later, Apple silicon and Intel.
