Show HN: Whispering – An open-source alternative to Superwhisper (github.com) 2 points by braden-w 1y ago ↗ HN
[–] braden-w 1y ago ↗ Hey HN,I couldn’t find an open-source alternative to Superwhisper, Wispr Flow, etc. that I liked, so I built my own.It’s free, cross-platform, runs locally or in the cloud with your own API key, and works via system-wide hotkey or voice-activated detection.Under the hood, it’s built with Svelte 5 + Rust/Tauri, which makes it extremely lightweight (~22 MB on macOS) and performant.GitHub → https://github.com/you/whisperingReleases → https://github.com/you/whispering/releasesLive demo/web → https://whispering.bradenwong.comI’ve been using it daily for months and just shipped v7—would love your feedback!
