    Hi HN, I'm a longtime web dev, but this is my first macOS app. Feedback is very welcome <3 I built TongueType because every dictation app I tried failed at least one of three things: it sent my audio to someone's cloud, it charged me monthly fee, or it felt clunky or enterprisy. The cloud thing kills it for anything sensitive. The subscription thing is insulting for what amounts to "Whisper + a hotkey." TongueType runs Whisper locally on Apple Silicon via CoreML. It's built to feel like a second keyboard: tap the hotkey, talk, let go, words appear. It sits in the menu bar (no dock icon, no…

    Hi Ycombinator community, I’d like to share a project I recently launched: Type Switch, a macOS app designed to make language switching seamless and intuitive for multilingual users. As someone who works in multiple languages daily, I’ve often found macOS’s default tools for language switching lacking in speed and ease of use. That’s what inspired me to create Type Switch — a lightweight and powerful tool for efficient multilingual typing. Key Features of Type Switch: - Quick toggling between installed languages. - A customizable button that displays the current language with adjustable…

    Hello, I’ve just released version 3.0 of WindowKeys, a small utility for macOS that gives you full control over the native window tiling system introduced in macOS Sequoia. Originally, WindowKeys was built to solve one very specific problem: assigning custom keyboard shortcuts to window tiling actions — especially useful if you use a third-party keyboard that can’t trigger system shortcuts. Over time it evolved beyond just shortcuts, and now 3.0 adds a few frequently requested features: - Move windows between displays (or iPad) - Repeat last tiling action for each app - Redesigned Shortcut…
