Hey HN, I'm Josiah. We love voice dictation, but wanted an open source version for transparency, privacy, and something that everyone could contribute to. So we built Voquill, an open source alternative to WisprFlow, Monologue, and Willow.
It lets you dictate into any desktop app. Press a hotkey, talk, text gets inserted. You can run Whisper locally, use our server, or wire up any provider you want (OpenAI, Claude, Groq, OpenRouter, whatever). You have full control over where your data goes.
Runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Open source, AGPLv3, built with Tauri and Rust. We're working on a mobile app too (Flutter).
To try it: Download from the repo or voquill.com. Click "local setup" on first launch. Hope you like it!
