Stories

Hello Product Hunt! Meet Stories: Built by Pixelspace for our own creative flow. Hi everyone! I’m Flor from the team at Pixelspace. At Pixelspace, we’ve spent a decade obsessed with building and designing MLPs (Minimum Lovable Products). We believe that for a tool to be truly useful, it shouldn’t just work—it has to be a joy to use. Stories started as a secret weapon for our internal team. We found that our best ideas—whether during a deep technical reasoning session, a frantic design brainstorm, or just individual ideation—flowed much faster when spoken than when typed. We needed a way to capture that ‘vibe’ instantly, without breaking our rhythm. We built Stories for ourselves because we wanted something simple, fast, and that almost never fails. No complex setups, no clunky interfaces—just your voice becoming text anywhere on your Mac, ready for you and your AI to build on together. Why we think you’ll love it: Built for the “Vibe” era: Whether you vibe-code, vibe-design, or vibe-prototype, Stories keeps your rhythm alive. Your spoken ideas turn into text right where you’re working. Reliable & Consistent: Powered by OpenAI Whisper. It works the first time, every time, in 50+ languages. We’ve even included smart backup & retry because we know how frustrating it is to lose a great idea due to a glitch. If a transcription fails, Stories retries automatically and keeps your recording safe on your Mac. Privacy First: Everything stays local. Your audio is sent securely to OpenAI for transcription and deleted immediately. We never see or store your data. True Open Source: It’s MIT licensed. We believe in transparency, so you can audit the code, contribute, or build your own version. Honest Pricing: Stories is free. You just use your own OpenAI API key (costing ~$0.006/min). No middleman, no subscriptions. We decided to open-source it and share it with the world because we think every creative team deserves a tool that feels this natural. We’d love to hear how you use it in your own design or dev workflows! We’ll be around all day to answer your questions.
