I started building VibeSonic about a year ago. I was using various cloud transcription tools for my own development workflow and kept hitting the same problems: monthly subscriptions for something that should run locally, audio being sent to servers I don't control, and tools that only did transcription when I needed a full voice-first productivity system. So I built what I wanted: a native Mac app that runs Whisper and Parakeet models entirely on-device, works in any app where you can type, and goes beyond dictation into notes, tasks, AI commands, and voice-triggered text editing. The BYOK model for cloud features means users who want GPT or fast cloud transcription can add their own API keys and pay providers directly — I never see their data or their bill. Everything is my own code except a handful of open-source libraries and the AI models themselves. I built my own licensing system on Cloudflare Workers so there are no recurring infrastructure costs to pass on to users. That's what makes the lifetime license sustainable — the app runs on the user's machine, not my servers.

VibeSonic pre-launch feedback: Local Whisper + Parakeet – thoughts on local vs cloud AI dictation?

Hey Product Hunt community

I'm the maker behind VibeSonic the private AI voice toolkit launching soon. After years of dealing with cloud dictation tools that drain my battery, leak data, or lock me into subscriptions, I built what I always wanted: fully on-device AI voice dictation that runs locally on your Mac. No data leaves your device. No monthly fees. Works wherever your cursor is (IDE, browser, email, Notes you name it). Key highlights so far:

Runs Whisper + NVIDIA Parakeet models entirely on-device for fast, private transcription
Voice-powered notes, tasks, AI text commands, custom dictionaries, and even web search via Perplexity
Optional "bring your own key" cloud mode if you want extra power (OpenAI/Groq/Deepgram you pay the provider directly)
One-time Pro license starting at $19.95 (no subscription ever)
