Someone wanted to charge for a must-have #macOS app, so I built my own, free and #OpenSource. ποΈ

I'm going to real with y'all for a minute
There is not a single dictation app that fully delivers on its promise for Windows.
I'm a solo developer trying hard to make AI dictation - actually fun to use and private!
Since my MacOS app, and iOS app got a crazy amount of love,
I'm sending out an early version for Windows to a select few to shape the final version :)
Windows is usually the forgotten child of AI. But not anymore..
Local AI that is ridiculously fast - custom built for Windows

Bullshit.

Someone Is Impersonating FluidVoice, and we genuinely need your help
Today, I'm sad to say that the system is broken.
For the past year, we've been building FluidVoice, a free dictation app now used by 50,000+ people across the globe.
It helps people with disabilities communicate and people with ADHD stay focused. We kept it free because we believe tools like this shouldn't be locked behind a paywall.
We've been building it on our own time, with no pay. We never expected anything in return. We just wanted to make something useful, earn people's trust, and do right by our users.
And for months now, a fraudulent website has been impersonating us.
Today, it's the SECOND result on Google when someone searches for FluidVoice. They even claim it as "OFFICIAL DOWNLOAD", lol. (Please do not click on it!)
The real FluidVoice is only at

We've tried everything we can think of to take it down. But nothing has worked.
@Dynadot, the registrar, sends us a canned reply and tells us to go file a legal dispute.
@HostGator, the host, wants us to pay $1500 to take legal action?
@Cloudflare doesn't respond at all.
NOTHING has worked. No one is helping put an end to this.
So here we are. We give our work away for free, and now we're being told we have to pay to stop someone from pretending to be us.
It's ridiculously easy for shameless opportunists to steal someone's identity, put up a fake website, impersonate something people have poured their heart into building, and get away with it.
How is it so easy to impersonate someone, and this hard to stop it?
Why does the burden fall on the people being impersonated instead of the people enabling it?
Doesn't this feel like it should be illegal?
We should be spending our time making FluidVoice better for people who rely on it. Instead, we're spending it fighting people who are pretending to be us.
I'm genuinely tired of this.
If you believe this is wrong, please repost. I just want this to reach someone who can help us put an end to it.
It shouldn't be this hard to protect something you've worked so hard to build.
Is there anyone at all who can help?

I'm going to be real with y'all for a minute, iOS dictation apps only make sense if they're not annoying to use.
Clunky. Typos. Slow. Bad keyboard.
I'm a solo developer trying hard to make iOS dictation actually fun to use.
Since my Mac dictation app got a lot of love on X,
I'm sending out a testflight for iOS.
Local. Private. Fast.

@FluidVoiceApp Please look at the ducking PRs. This feature is important. If Iβm in a live meeting or watching a live video, I donβt want it paused/unpaused while dictating. I want the volume ducked so I can focus on dictation without interrupting the live content. @FluidVoiceApp
