VybeScript

Speak naturally. Get clean text. 100% on your Mac.

What it does

VybeScript is a native macOS dictation app. Press a hotkey, speak naturally in English or Spanish, and your words land wherever your cursor was, cleaned up in your choice of four writing styles (Raw, Clean, Polish, Formal). Transcription runs on a bundled local Whisper model; the AI cleanup runs on Apple's on-device Foundation Models. Nothing you say is ever sent anywhere.

Speak naturally, get clean text. VybeScript transcribes and rewrites your dictation entirely on your Mac — no cloud, no accounts, and your words are never tracked.

Press a key, talk, and your words appear wherever you were typing. Fully on-device — nothing leaves your Mac. Hit your global hotkey, or hold it to push-to-talk. Works from any app. Say it naturally, in English or Spanish. Pauses and filler are fine. A bundled Whisper model transcribes; on-device AI cleans it up in your chosen style. Your text lands right where the cursor was — email, docs, chat, code, anywhere. Speak once, then choose how polished you want it. Every style runs on-device — pick one and watch the same recording transform. Audio, transcription, and AI cleanup all happen on your machine, using Apple’s on-device Foundation Models and a bundled local…from vybescript.app

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
