WhisPaste

What it does

WhisPaste turns OpenAI's Whisper into a real desktop app: press a hotkey, speak, and the transcript is pasted at your cursor - in any app, on Windows, macOS or Linux. Offline by default - whisper.cpp runs locally, audio never leaves your device Free & open source (MIT) - no account, no subscription Broad hardware support - Vulkan, Metal, CPU fallback Built for anyone who wants to write at the speed of speech, privately.

Tastenkürzel drücken, sprechen: WhisPaste fügt den Text am Cursor ein und läuft lokal auf Windows, macOS und Linux. Kostenlos & quelloffen.

Was du sprichst, erscheint als Text dort, wo dein Cursor steht. Standardmäßig verarbeitet WhisPaste die Aufnahme auf deinem Rechner; einen Cloud-Anbieter nutzt du nur, wenn du das möchtest. Die App ist kostenlos und quelloffen. Mit dem Kauf im Store unterstützt du die Entwicklung. Danke. Die Spracherkennung läuft lokal, solange du keinen Cloud-Anbieter auswählst. Drücke das Tastenkürzel in der App, die du gerade nutzt, und sprich. WhisPaste fügt das Transkript in das aktive Textfeld ein. Diese Beispiele zeigen WhisPaste an fünf Stellen: im Editor, im Terminal, im Browser, im E-Mail-Programm und in einer Notiz-App. Das Transkript erscheint jeweils im aktiven Textfeld.

  I trained a 125M model to autocomplete piano on-device▲598

  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.

  Needle2: 14MB agentic LLM for phones, wearables, smart home and robots▲537

  Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

  OwnTime – a chess clock for your day's priorities▲110

  I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up. One…
