Back on Wispr Flow after six months on local speech-to-text (FluidVoice with Parakeet, plus Whisper). Local transcription is fine. The cleanup is what’s missing: fixing misheard jargon ate the time dictation saved. Flow’s correction pass, OS-level integration and phone keyboard win. It matters more now because models follow high-level intent well: I speak the intent plus constraints in one go and let the LLM structure it. Whisper mode works even when you speak softly. Want to try it? My referral link gets you a free month of Pro, and I get one once you’ve dictated 2,000 words.

Recordly does video recording, screenshots, and demo editing in one open-source Electron app. Not in Homebrew core, but easy to ship via a personal tap: brew install --cask theskumar/tap/recordly. Replacing my previous screenshot/recording workflow with this as the single default (see Default Apps 2025).

Moshi is the best SSH client I’ve found for iPhone — connects to your laptop’s tmux sessions over Mosh, making it rock-solid on mobile networks with roaming support. Perfect for an agent view on the go; I use it to monitor and interact with running pi/Claude sessions from my iPhone without losing the session on network switches.

FluidVoice with paraquet v2 is soemthing i’ve been using now as my default speech-to-text on Mac, after evaluating WisperFlow, Handy and VoiceInk.
