Two things worth flagging. First, InkTyper is direct-only — no Mac App Store. That's deliberate: no 30% platform tax, no sandbox crippling the experience, and faster iteration without app-review gates. For a power-user dictation tool, staying outside the walled garden is the product, not a limitation — full-strength hotkeys, on-device MLX streaming, and deep integrations all ship uncut. Second, on execution: I'm one person augmented by AI tooling (Claude Code, Cursor), shipping a production native macOS app with on-device ML and multi-provider cloud integration solo. If the thesis holds, the same lean model scales the roadmap far beyond what a solo founder could traditionally build.

hold option, talk, release, text just shows up where my cursor is, basically exactly what i wanted for dictating replies on mac. mixed chinese and english came through clean too which is honestly kind of rare
