Dictate in any app · Database
Database schemas outlive their designers, and column names are not documentation. With Typally you hold a hotkey, speak, and the text lands in Supabase exactly where your cursor was.
Written by the team behind Typally. Supabase's own features are described as accurately as we can — check them yourself before switching anything.None. SQL editor, table comments and docs are typed.
Postgres supports comments on tables and columns and almost nobody uses them, because writing one is a chore in the middle of building something. The schema then becomes a puzzle for whoever arrives next.
In practice people use it for: Table and column comments, migration notes, row-level security policy explanations, and project README content.
Typally runs in the background and types into whatever window has focus, so there is nothing to install inside Supabase:
Grab the build for your platform and create an account.
Whatever has the cursor receives the text, so click the right place in Supabase before starting.
Hold, talk, release. Long passages are fine.
SQL is symbol-dense. Dictate the comment text, then wrap it in the SQL by hand.
Typally types into the SQL editor and dashboard fields, so every row-level security policy can carry a comment explaining what it prevents. Speak the explanation and type the SQL — but the explanation is what stops a future developer disabling the lot to make a feature work.
A developer adds spoken comments to the six row-level security policies on a project. A year later a contractor modifies one safely rather than disabling the lot to make a feature work.
Dictate a comment on every policy you write. Row-level security is the thing future developers are most afraid to touch, and fear comes from not knowing why a rule exists.

No. The SQL editor and dashboard fields are typed.
What the column means in business terms and what values are invalid. The type already tells you the rest.
Write the explanation by voice and the policy itself by keyboard.
