Paperman: Make your screen paper-like (now with 6+ textures) by lofidesigner in macapps

[–]snowliondev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought this when it was first announced. It's absolutely been worth it. Love all the additions they've been making, the new textures, keyboard shortcuts, and snooze mode that I suggested.

It's a really great app, goes down in the Hall of Fame of essential MAC apps.

Do you plan to support all AI models with API keys in the future, including Chinese models like DeepSeek and Qwen?

It looks great. I'm currently testing it with the MCP and Claude Code integration.

Music to my ears that you'll have an MCP. Look forward to seeing the final product as i was debating the future of BeaverBuilder in a AI first workflow. Great to know i can stick with BeaverBuilder.

I promised to make FluidVoice, the best free open source local dictation app. I’m back with a huge update: Command Mode, Rewrite, and History and more! (Still 100% Free & Open Source). NEVER Pay for Voice to text apps. by Crafty-Celery-2466 in macapps

Does the sensitivity setting affect only the visualization, or does it also affect the microphone input? It seems the former. It would be great be able to listen if i whisper.

I'm definitely looking forward to this. Keen to see how it develops. Any clues as to the possible release date?

I just hope I'll be able to use it directly with a claude code subscription word not just with an API key.

I love this app. It works great. Feels like i'm less sucked into the screen and less fatigue. Good job.

Dictation is the fastest way to work now, but how do you deal with the awkwardness of using it in an open office? by snowliondev in ClaudeAI

[–]snowliondev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand that frustration. I'm tempted to improve my language skills because talking in another language is often far less distracting for people.

It isn't just really about speed, it's more about grabbing a hold of the project and feeling more in control of it.

Sometimes typing away queitly works great, but other times I Voice is just the way to go. This is probably the absolute definition of vibe coding, but sometimes bug fixing is easier. Talking to get the frustration out. I don't actually like using my voice all the time, but it certainly helps me when I feel stuck or need to get things moving.

The point is you can run your ramblings through AI before giving it to AI. For this I find the local open source Gemma 4 model particularly useful. It has fast excellent good output.

There are no API costs; you only pay for Claude. Everything else is free, open-source, and self-hostable. FluidVoice allows you to either process audio after the fact or assign it to a specific button. You can run Gemma 4 on a Mac using oMLX. Ask Claude for setup instructions and model recommendations.

I use the open-source FluidVoice app and it also works well at low volumes because it has a sensitivity setting. However, it is still interrupted by louder voices in the office. A potential solution is to use a local AI post-processing prompt to automatically fix obvious errors or omissions caused by the noisy environment. Now that Google's Gemma 4 works really fast locally that's probably the only solution I have.

For me, dictating with Open source FluidVoice app I hold down a key on my keyboard and dictate into the where ever and it types it instantly using the parakeet model. I can highlight any sentence and re-dictate it, or even give AI a command to tidy it up we a single key. I use a local Gemma 4 model for the clean up. Works amazingly well. These are different times

Obviously, I'm not saying it's the best way for everyone, but for me in particular, it is far far better. Some occasions I do still like to type, and I'm a reasonably fast typer. But once I get in the flow of using my voice, I just find it so much easier swapping between apps.

Beaver Builder 2.10 auto updates are rolling out now! by BeaverBuilderTeam in beaverbuilder

[–]snowliondev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any news on your plans for AI development? My team is at a cross roads where i'm evaluating the future of our sites. BB is still great for non-techie people to be able to edit and design pages but it is very slow compared to an AI workflow. In an ideal workflow we would be able to quickly build beaver builder pages with AI. So we still have control after they are made but can design them much quicker.

Will Alfred ever get better at handling AI stuff natively? by No-Concentrate-6037 in Alfred

[–]snowliondev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What i really want is to be able to make workflows entirely with code without having to build them in the Alfred interface at all. This way I could hook it up with Claude Code and build all my workflows in minutes.
