LotusQ lets you hold a hotkey, speak, and have your words pasted as polished text into any app. Free forever with local Whisper. Pro adds cloud AI formatting that adapts to every app you use.







Hey PH! 👋 I'm Nanda, the developer of LotusQ.
I started building this because I switched from Mac to a Windows + Linux workflow and realized there was no good voice dictation option. WisprFlow the app I'd been using simply doesn't exist on those platforms. So I built my own.
The part I'm most proud of isn't the cloud features it's the local mode. Your audio runs through Whisper on your own machine, never touches a server, and works without internet. That's the free tier, and it's unlimited forever.
The Pro tier adds cloud AI that formats your speech based on which app you're in. Dictating an email gets you paragraph breaks and a salutation. Dictating in Slack gets you casual, punchy text. It sounds simple but it makes a real difference.
Mac is coming as soon as Apple approves my developer account. Windows and Linux are live today.
Happy to answer any questions about how it works technically — the paste-injection into different apps (especially Electron apps like Discord) was the hardest engineering problem by far.
