Show HN: Crisper – On-device voice to polished text for macOS

Hacker News - Tue, 05/19/2026 - 1:17pm

Hey HN,

I built Crisper because every dictation tool I tried either sent audio to the cloud or gave me raw, messy transcripts I still had to fix.

Crisper runs entirely on-device — no network calls, no account, no subscription. It does two things in sequence: transcribes using a speech model, then runs a local LM pass to strip filler words, fix grammar, and make the output sound intentional. The whole thing takes ~1–2 seconds on Apple Silicon.

A floating hotkey pill sits above every window. When you're done recording, it auto-pastes back into whatever app you were in before — Slack, Notion, VS Code, anything.

A few things I'm happy with: - Three recording modes (toggle, hold-to-record, re-paste last) — all rebindable - Full transcript library with source app, timestamp, and audio playback - Fully offline after first-run model download

Free to download. Would love feedback on the AI polish quality especially — that's the part I'm still tuning.

Show HN: How Expensive Is Your (Steam) Wishlist?

Hacker News - Tue, 05/19/2026 - 1:15pm

A tool/toy that lets you connect to your Steam wishlist to calculate the total list/current price of all the games on it.

There's a shallow, jokey purpose to it ("I could buy a BMW with this amount!"), but the real purpose is to demonstrate how we can do a better job of portraying a game catalog. I often wishlist stuff, then it pops up in a "Hey, it's on sale!" email months later. In that email, there's a banner capsule, but that doesn't help my brain remember why I added it.

To that end, after you get the bill, you get a nice, flat feed of stuff about all the titles you've wishlisted over the years. It's all stuff that developers painstakingly put together, but which Steam tucks away under the fold of a game's Store page.

Anyway, my wishlist came to about $250. My QA guy is up to $19k. Give it a go; hope you enjoy it!
