What it does
A minimalist, open-source voice input app for macOS. It listens locally, uses AI to refine your words, and preserves your natural voice. You can bring your own API key and use it for free, or subscribe to our cloud service for $6.99/month.
Mac-native speech to text with minimal edits, portable language data, and full ownership of your personal dictionary.
A native Mac experience. Press. Speak. Release. Your words land where your cursor is. A prompt to an AI should be lean. A message to a friend should be you. No but genuinely, I just, um, I just loved that version of it. I'm not just saying that. So like, can you help me kind of rewrite this? I probably want it to sound more, you know, professional. Speech-to-text is processed locally on your Mac. Choose a plan for the AI rewriting. A voice input method that breathes. Open source. Unlimited AIfrom stet.me

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.
