Free and open source, with nothing held back. No account, no subscription, no trial. Each one exists because I wanted it and could not find it — or could only find it behind a monthly bill.
Offline dictation for Linux and Windows
Press a hotkey, speak, press it again. The transcript is typed straight into whatever has focus — an editor, a browser, a terminal. Nothing is uploaded, because there is no server to upload it to.
Runs entirely on your machine. No account, no subscription, no minutes-per-month.
Eyes for an AI agent
A camera pointed at the real world, reachable from the command line. A screenshot shows an assistant what is on your screen; Lookout shows it what is on your desk — a circuit board, a printed page, a device with no API.
It focuses the lens itself. A $440 GoPro macro rig cannot do that — its focus ring needs fingers.
Everything here started as something I needed and could not find, or could find only behind a subscription. When the next one is finished it will appear here. There is no mailing list and no date, because I would only be guessing.
Not as a setting you can turn off — as an absence. There is no server, no account and no telemetry in any of them.
No paid tier, so no feature sitting behind one and no reason for what you get to be deliberately worse than it could be.
Not a port and not a community build. Everything here is developed on Linux and shipped for Linux and Windows together.
Code-signing certificates cost more per year than these tools will ever make. Windows will warn you on first launch. Every download has a published SHA-256.
