A 4.8MB native iOS voice notes app built with SwiftUI
Hey HN, I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on called Convoxa. It’s a native iOS transcriber/summarizer. I had two main goals: keep it efficient and keep it private. THE TECH STACK 100% Swift & SwiftUI: No heavy cross-platform wrappers or bloated dependencies. Binary Size: The final build is only 4.8 MB. Transcription: Uses Apple's latest speech APIs for maximum privacy and efficiency. THE CHALLENGE: BYPASSING THE 4K CONTEXT LIMIT The biggest technical hurdle was working with Apple’s foundation models. The default context window is capped at 4096 tokens, which is practically…

Convoxa 2.0 Stop taking notes. Start being present. Live notes Send text, images, or PDFs to Convoxa while you're still recording. Everything you add becomes part of the context your AI note is built from — so the summary reflects the slide you photographed and the agenda you pasted, not just what was said out loud. One timeline Your transcript and live notes now live in a single timeline, in order, so you can see what you added and what was being said at that moment side by side. Notes you can actually edit The static summary is gone. Notes are now fully editable rich text — headings, bullet, dashed, numbered, and checklist styles, highlights, and color. The AI formats your note for you,…from apps.apple.com

DictlyOct 2025 · dictly.app · ▲240TL;DR: I built a native macOS dictation app that transcribes locally and instantly. Text appears as you speak (measured ~100 ms first‑character latency). No accounts, no servers, no tracking. Links: • Website: https://dictly.app • Mac App Store: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/dictly-no-keys-just-clarity/id... • Free download; optional Pro tier (pipelines, unlimited history, etc.) What it does Real‑time transcription — streaming text while you talk, not after you stop. Quick‑Capture Overlay (macOS) — global hotkey, drop text into any app/field.…
TongueType for macOSMay 2026 · tonguetype.app · ▲109Hi 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…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
