Thanks so much for checking out our launch today 🙌
Gubb came from one simple idea:
“What if your notes app could do so much more — be fast, distraction-free, and combine all the little productivity tools you switch between every day?”
So we built an all-in-one workspace with:
Lightning-fast markdown notes that open instantly
Built-in to-dos, timer & Pomodoro system for focused work
Clipboard history, inline calculations, unit/currency conversions — yes, in your notes
Voice-to-text support (offline & local AI) so you can capture thoughts even when typing isn’t convenient
Privacy-first, offline-first design: no cloud required, you’re in control of your data
I’d love your feedback - what you like, what you don’t, what you’re hoping to see next. Your support (and upvote!) means the world ❤️
Happy note-taking and productivity! ✍️

Gubb seems to be a great productivity tool. What inspired you to build it as a desktop app after the web app got inactive?
@zerotox I rebuilt Gubb as a desktop app because people wanted something faster and more reliable. A native macOS app gives instant recording, better performance, and a smoother workflow than the old web version ever could.

Does Gubb's offline voice-to-text handle other languages or accents well, or is it mostly English right now?
Gubb
@lavana_cricko Currently English only.
Congrats on the launch @sohailhusn 👏🏻
Regarding the stack, what have you used to build it both for Mac and Windows?
Gubb
@pasha_tseluyko Thanks, Pavel!
Gubb is built with Rust for the backend and React for the frontend.
@sohailhusn so how did you make it a windows app then? for mac I know people use Electron, what did you use for windows?
Interesting product, congratulations on the launch, and if I may ask, are you using a local LLM for voice to text?
