I love tech things. I make content and build @cueboardapp & @keyvoxapp

[KeyVox @keyvoxapp]

Big Dictation has a secret.

They need your data more than you need their app.

KeyVox doesn't:

- 100% on-device AI
- No cloud. No tracking.
- iOS + Mac
- Free forever

Anyone else fine tuning AI models? Want to be friends?

[Dom Esposito @macmixing]

Hey Apple, why is this a priority notification, when it's also labeled as a likely scam?

I'm not sure what the actual trigger is here, but the priority notification should not be able to fire if the call has been labeled as a scam. Just my opinion.

Has anybody else seen this?

[Dom Esposito @macmixing]

For anyone curious, I landed on Qwen 2.5 0.5b-Instruct for the model with custom KeyVox LoRA adapters. Works great for what I need.

And so much better than feeding it a longer cleanup prompt as instructions.

[Dom Esposito @macmixing]

Been hard at work on a fully reversible AI rewrite system for my app @keyvoxapp.

You can pick a style (or Vibe as I call them) and undo/change it afterwards.

Fully local. No subscription.

This is super clean!

[Parker Ortolani @ParkerOrtolani]

Can’t believe it but I’ve turned this concept into a functional iOS app with the magic of Codex 🤯

8 little agents powered by Apple Foundation models with customizable system prompts in an iMessage-style UI

[Dom Esposito @macmixing]

@ParkerOrtolani That’s awesome! Congrats. Looks clean dude!

GPT 5.5 called the Mac Studio I’m using “The Goblin Automation Core.”

I happily told it to use the word goblin as much as it wants. 😂

[Dom Esposito @macmixing]

@ParkerOrtolani Agreed. They've done a great job with it.

[Dom Esposito @macmixing]

Launched a new feature with @keyvoxapp today! Great dictation isn’t all it can do!

KeyVox can now transform:
- Voice → text
- Text → voice

Copy text. Hear it speak. 🦻
No account. No subscription. No cloud.

KeyVox Speak for iOS is here. 🎙️

[Dom Esposito @macmixing]

@mweinbach 100% it’s been a better experience overall for me.

[Dom Esposito @macmixing]

So what are we thinking?

I’ll miss the Tim days! Looking forward to the future though.

BREAKING: Tim Cook steps down. Ternus to CEO.

[Dom Esposito @macmixing]

Facts.

Character development. 🤌

iOS + macOS
Best forever-free dictation app.

[Dom Esposito @macmixing]

Best free AI dictation keyboard for iOS! ✅

[KeyVox @keyvoxapp]

Big Dictation wants you to pay a monthly subscription to speak.

We disagree with that.

KeyVox for iOS is on the App Store now!

Reasons to try KeyVox:

- 100% local AI
- Smart formatting
- iCloud Sync’d Dictionary
- Best in class features!

100% Free: https://t.co/eIELWxMV8I

[Dom Esposito @macmixing]

@bobojr2002 @keyvoxapp No worries! Sorry not sure what happened.

[Dom Esposito @macmixing]

Recently I got annoyed with Big Dictation and all the word limits and subscriptions. So I built my own dictation app.

@keyvoxapp is a free & local macOS dictation app that works anywhere you do.

Press a key
Speak
Your text appears

It’s now open source.

[Dom Esposito @macmixing]

@bobojr2002 @keyvoxapp Yes. It’s great for writing. And you can add custom words to your dictionary. Give it a shot. It’s free, runs locally, no data collection, and will have you writing long form in no time! Especially if you use the shift key to go “hands-free”

Enjoy!
