Hey Product Hunt 👋

I'm Vladimir, co-founder of Muvon. Today I'm launching Vext — a local voice-to-text app for macOS that does three things in one tool:

🎙 Dictation — Hold a key, speak, release. Text appears at your cursor in any app. Works in Claude Code, Cursor, Slack, VS Code, your email, anywhere.

📝 Voice notes — Quick voice memos, transcribed and stored in-app. Same hotkey-based capture, different destination.

🎧 Meeting recording — Captures both your mic AND system audio simultaneously, so it works with Zoom, Google Meet, FaceTime, anything. You get speaker labels, full transcripts, and AI summaries with action items.

Why I built it: I was paying $15/month for a cloud voice-to-text tool that sent every word I spoke to a server I don't control. As someone who lives in Claude Code and ships products for a living, I wanted something local, fast, and that I owned outright. Couldn't find one that did dictation AND meetings well, so I built it.

What makes it different:
• 100% local — runs Parakeet at 150x realtime on Apple Silicon. Your voice never leaves your Mac.
• Three modes in one app — most tools do dictation OR meetings, not both
• YOLO Mode — auto-submits prompts to Claude Code/Cursor/ChatGPT. Voice + screenshot capture during dictation = fully hands-free coding
• $49 one-time, not $15/month. $24.50 with the launch promo (code VEXT50, auto-applied at checkout)

vs the competition:
• Wispr Flow ($144/yr): no meetings, cloud-only
• Granola ($168/yr): meetings only, no dictation
• Otter.ai ($100-204/yr): cloud-based, bot joins your call

Free trial: 100 dictations, 50 notes, 10 meeting recordings. No credit card.

Install:
brew install muvon/tap/vext
or grab the .dmg at https://getvext.app

Requirements: macOS 14+ on Apple Silicon (M1+).

Would love your honest feedback — especially on the three-modes-in-one-tool approach and whether the comparison vs subscriptions resonates. I'm in the comments all day. Ask me anything!

Don here, co-founder of Muvon.

Vladimir already did the full walkthrough. I'll keep it simple: we built Vext because sending your voice to someone else's server to type a Slack message is ridiculous. It's your Mac, your voice, your model.

I ship with YOLO Mode in Cursor every day. Talk, release, done. No editing, no polishing — just speed.

$24.50 today. getvext.app or brew install muvon/tap/vext.
