Free, local AI powered Voice to Text w/ live transcriptions
Juno is a local, open-source voice writing app for Mac. It is the only voice dictation tool with live transcriptions. Speak naturally in Mail, Slack, Notes, Cursor, or the app you’re already using; Juno writes clean text, rewrites selected passages, uses snippets, and creates Notes, Reminders, and Alarms. No login, runs offline and free forever.
Voice is becoming the new keyboard. Juno is the open voice layer for Mac. I built it for how I actually work: long prompts, product notes, specs, messages, emails. I wanted to speak naturally, see the transcript live, and get finished writing inside the app I was already using. Juno turns messy speech into clean writing, rewrites selected text by voice, and creates Notes, Reminders, and Alarms.
If software hears your voice and understands your screen, it has to be local, open, and unlimited. For this category, open source is not a feature. It is the only acceptable architecture.
Hence, Juno is fully local, open source, and free forever.

Who hunted Juno?
Juno was hunted by Rohan Chaubey. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
