Local-first podcast player. On-device Whisper transcription, time-stamped notes you can scrub to, and an AI chat that talks to your transcript — using your own keys, not ours. Whisper runs locally via WhisperKit. Audio never leaves your Mac. Pick the model size that fits your patience and disk: tiny / base / small / medium / large. Ask follow-up questions, summarize an episode, pull out action items. Bring your own key for OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, or Grok — or paste any custom model id. Capture a thought mid-listen. Scrub the audio to nudge the timestamp. Export everything as Markdown grouped by show. Subscribed shows, liked episodes, transcripts, chats, and progress export to a…from sagecast.anshulgarg.in

  I was laid off recently and, instead of looking for another job right away, I decided to build something I always wanted: a transcription tool that respects user privacy. Existing transcription tools often require internet connectivity, send your private audio to cloud servers, or lock you into monthly subscriptions. I wanted something different—so I built WhisperBuddy, a privacy-first AI transcription app that runs entirely on your machine. WhisperBuddy uses OpenAI’s Whisper model (see: https://github.com/openai/whisper). While the model may not always deliver the…

  I built a macOS dictation app where everything runs on-device. Transcription, auto-correct, translation. No audio or text leaves your machine. It ships with 4 transcription engines you can swap between: WhisperKit (99 languages), NVIDIA Parakeet TDT 0.6B (25 European languages, fastest of the bunch), Qwen3-ASR 0.6B (30 languages), and Apple Speech on macOS 26+. They all run through CoreML/Metal. Whisper is the most versatile, Parakeet wins on raw latency for European languages, Qwen3 does better with CJK. I went with a protocol-based architecture so you pick the engine that fits your…

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  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.
