Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I built Dictantor because I wanted a simple way to capture conversations and ideas without sending personal recordings to another company’s servers.

Dictantor started as an iPhone and Apple Watch voice notes app. Today, it’s also available on Mac, where it can record your microphone and system audio together, suggest recording before meetings, and turn conversations into searchable transcripts.

Everything is designed around a local-first approach:

• On-device transcription in 25 European languages
• Your voice separated from everyone else
• Transcript search linked to exact playback moments
• No Dictantor account or subscription
• Optional sync through your private iCloud account

The goal is simple: audio is the source, but useful, searchable text is the destination.

I’d love to hear how you currently capture meetings and voice notes, and what would make Dictantor more useful in your workflow. Thanks for checking it out!

I’ve been following this one for a while, and I’m really happy to see Dictantor finally launch! The local-first approach to storing and processing recordings is an awesome feature!

Congrats on the launch, Alexander! 🚀

@paulmatvienko Thank you! Really appreciate you following along 💙 Keeping Dictantor local-first has been one of the main ideas from the start, so I’m really glad that part resonates.

Thanks for the support! 🙌
