Would you pay $3/mo if it saves you 30 min per day?

English is my second language, and while speaking it is fine, writing and polishing takes me noticeably longer than native speakers. I was a Wispr Flow user for a while - liked the idea, but it had too many missing pieces and some things that genuinely annoyed me.

So I built my own. It's called Voicr - a native Mac app. Small, fast, and the whole thing is 1.2 MB. It fits on a floppy disk if you still remember what that is. 😄

Here's what it does:

• Dictation. Hold FN, speak, release - text is transcribed and pasted into whatever field you're in.
• Notes. Hold FN + Control and it saves a note directly, no polishing, just the raw transcription.
• Smart rules. Set a custom prompt per app - casual for Slack, formal for email - and it rewrites your dictation automatically when you switch context.
• Text correction. Select any text, press ⌥Space, pick a correction rule, and it rewrites in place. No copy-pasting to ChatGPT and back.
• Translation. Speak in any language, get the output in another. I use this more than I expected.

Why it is cool?

1. Mac native. Small, fast and efficient. F! electron :-)
2. Privacy first. It doesn't store any data, everything is stored locally.
3. It doesn't use OpenAI or any other providers. Hosted models in cloude: Whisper and Llama.
4. You can create as many corrections and rules as you want. For different apps for different proposes.

So it's a dictation app, a note taker, a writing assistant, and a translator — in 1.2 MB.

What do you think? I really love what I've made and use it everyday.
