Show HN: Whispering – An open-source alternative to Superwhisper (github.com/braden-w)

Hey HN,

I couldn’t find an open-source alternative to Superwhisper, Wispr Flow, etc. that I liked, so I built my own.

It’s free, cross-platform, runs locally or in the cloud with your own API key, and works via system-wide hotkey or voice-activated detection.

Under the hood, it’s built with Svelte 5 + Rust/Tauri, which makes it extremely lightweight (~22 MB on macOS) and performant.

GitHub → https://github.com/you/whispering

Releases → https://github.com/you/whispering/releases

Live demo/web → https://whispering.bradenwong.com

I’ve been using it daily for months and just shipped v7—would love your feedback!


This is really cool! Just started using it today. It's missing some of superwhisper's ease of use but other than that, 10/10
