What it does
VoiceCatch is a privacy-first speech-to-text app with local-first transcription. Talk anywhere you type — your audio and transcripts stay on your device. Free plan, no sign-up wall.
Hold your hotkey in any app, speak naturally, and VoiceCatch places polished text wherever your cursor is while keeping your words local by default. Umm, quick update for Maya. The launch copy is almost ready, but I want it to sound calmer before we send it. Quick update for Maya: the launch copy is nearly ready. I am tightening the tone so it feels calm, confident, and ready to send. VoiceCatch is designed around the trust question every speech-to-text app should answer clearly: what leaves your device? For dictation content, the answer is local by default. Your speech, drafts, corrections, and learned vocabulary are processed on your device. Google sign-in and billing store only what is…from voicecatch.app

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
