What it does

Echo is an AI-powered voice transcription app for macOS designed for fast, hands-free writing. Instead of typing, you can press a shortcut key, speak, and have your words instantly converted into text and inserted wherever your cursor is — email, notes, code editors, or any other application. Built as an open-source alternative to Wispr Flow, Echo focuses on speed, simplicity, and flexibility for developers and power users.

AI-powered voice transcription for macOS — open source alternative to Wispr Flow . Download the .dmg from the releases page and drag Echo.app to /Applications . Remove macOS quarantine — macOS marks downloaded apps as quarantined, which prevents Echo from appearing in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility . Fix this by running: xattr -cr /Applications/Echo.app Open Echo from /Applications . Follow the setup wizard to enter your API key and grant the required permissions.

    Hi everyone - My cofounder, Reuben, and I have been working on Echo, a voice & text, mobile-first, note-taking app that uses GPT-4o to organize your thoughts and bring them to life.

Echo works well with unstructured thoughts. 2. Echo automatically organizes your notes into topics. 3. You can ask Echo questions, and it will use your notes to generate a response. We launched in the App Store on Sep 3.…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
