Hi I'm Gokulakrishnan, and I build Kivo on my own.
Hold Option, speak, and let go. Your words appear at the cursor in any app on your Mac. Try it on your next long prompt to an AI agent.
It runs on your Mac, so your audio is never uploaded. It is free, with no account.
It is an early preview: English and Mac only, and slower than my target. It is not signed yet, so you allow the first launch in Privacy & Security, and it needs a one time 460 MB model download.
Which apps or words does it get wrong?
I would value your feedback ❤️

Who hunted Kivo?
Kivo was hunted by Gokulakrishnan S. 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.
