Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm the maker of Writher. I built Writher out of a personal frustration. I wanted to dictate text on my Windows PC and have a smart assistant manage my quick thoughts, but I absolutely hated the idea of sending my voice data to the cloud or paying for API keys. So, I decided to build a 100% local alternative. 🎙️ How it works: Writher runs completely on your machine using Whisper (for lightning-fast Speech-to-Text) and Ollama (for local LLM function-calling). It features a non-intrusive, glassmorphic widget that floats on your screen without stealing window focus. It has two main modes: Hold AltGr (Dictation): Speak naturally, and Writher will instantly type your words into ANY active app (Word, VS Code, Discord) using an atomic Win32 Clipboard injection (no buggy pasting!). Hold Ctrl+R (Assistant): Speak a command like "Remind me to call Mom at 5 PM" or "Add milk to my shopping list". The local AI parses your request and saves it to a built-in SQLite database, which you can view in a sleek custom UI. 🔒 Privacy First: It works completely offline. Your voice, your notes, and your agenda never leave your computer. It’s completely free and open-source. I'd absolutely love for you to try it out! Let me know what you think, and I’ll be hanging out in the comments all day to answer your questions or take feature requests. Cheers! 🚀
