What it does
Doing is for AI builders who use voice and screenshots to bring context to Claude Code, Codex, and other AI agents. Tap a hotkey and Doing listens. Optimized over thousands of hours of building with Claude & Codex. Blazing fast, private, local, no account, no subs. Just a quality tool that you own and works well.
Fast voice-to-text on Mac. Entirely local. No subscription. $49 once.
Try it — hold Shift and move your mouse. A small pip follows your cursor so you always know where your words will land. No audio uploaded. No cloud transcription. No account. Everything runs on your machine. While holding your hotkey, drag a rectangle anywhere on screen to capture a screenshot. It's attached to your transcript automatically. Take as many as you need per recording. Other voice tools charge $8–15 a month, forever. Doing is $49 once. It's yours. No recurring charges, no subscription anxiety. Just a quality tool that you own and can use forever. Doing transcribes locally in real-time — no upload, no server, no spinner. Your words are already there. 60 seconds of audio…from doing.tools

I kept re-explaining the same preferences. claude-reflect was a CLI tool that extracted learnings from Claude Code sessions. Retain takes this further with a native macOS app that: - Aggregates conversations from Claude Code, claude.ai, ChatGPT, and Codex CLI - Instant full-text…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
