Scriber is a Linux-first desktop transcription app for operators, developers, founders, and creators who work across terminals, browsers, IDEs, docs, and AI consoles.

Current release: 1.2.0 Linuxdeb available now. AppImage coming next.
I built Scriber because I needed it myself.
I spend most of my day moving between terminals, IDEs, docs, browsers, AI consoles, and infrastructure dashboards. Browser-based dictation kept breaking the flow, and most transcription tools treat Linux like an afterthought.

I built Scriber because I needed it myself.
I spend a lot of my day moving between terminals, browsers, IDEs, docs, AI tools, and operator consoles. Typing every thought manually breaks flow, and most dictation tools either live in the browser, target Mac first, or treat Linux like an afterthought.
Scriber is a Linux-first desktop transcription app built for long-form thinking, prompts, notes, docs, and real operator workflows.
This first public version is intentionally focused:
- realtime desktop transcription
- clean text export
- Linux-first workflow
- free starter usage
- paid upgrade path
I’m looking for feedback from Linux users, developers, founders, creators, and anyone who talks through their work before turning it into text.
