Sway is for people who think better by talking than typing. Just speak your thoughts naturally. While walking, thinking, or reflecting. Sway listens and turns what you say into clear summaries, key points, and actions. No prompts. No formatting. Just speak -> clarity.
Heyhey Product Hunt :)
I’m Christian.
I’ve always done my best thinking by talking. For instance while walking, pacing, or trying to untangle something in my head. But keeping those thoughts never really worked.
Typing interrupted the flow, voice notes piled up.
And most tools I tried felt like they wanted me to adapt my thinking to them.
I know there are already products out there that try to solve this problem.
What I kept missing, though, was simplicity.
Sway started as a very personal attempt to stay as close as possible to the way I already think.
You just speak - naturally, without planning or structuring.
Sway listens and gives your thoughts back as something you can actually work with:
a clear summary, key points, and next steps.
No prompts, no setup, no feeling of “using a tool”.
Just talking followed by clarity.
This is still early, and I’m genuinely curious how this resonates with others.
Do you think better out loud? Does something like this fit into how you already work?
And where does it still fall short for you?
Thanks for checking it out, I’ll be around all day to chat 🙂
The "thinking by talking" flow really resonates. I do my best work walking too.
Love the zero-prompt approach - automatically extracting summaries/actions without asking is the right UX. How does it handle technical jargon or domain-specific terms?
Nice work!
@christian73 This is really interesting and immediately piqued my interest. I've been trying to solve this problem for myself as well. I've been using Google Docs audio tools to essentially word vomit into a doc and then put it into Claude to try to organize and clarify my thoughts.
This is a really refreshing take on note taking, capturing thoughts as they happen instead of forcing structure. I’m curious how Sway decides what to surface as a key point versus a side thought and how much control users have to shape the summaries. Could see this being a game changer for people who process ideas verbally
So it's more of a notetaker rather than a writing copilot, right? I was thinking to suggest this app to our CEO for his thought leadership posting on Linkedin. The current problem is to get him into the routine, so talking when walking could defo work for him. Voice modes in ChatGPT and co could work as well, but I like the No prompts environment - keeps you focused
Tested the product. Sorry to say, its terrible.
Dint pick my voice at all nor did it get my spoken words right. Rather it assumed some random statements and showed it. This way too far away from the likes of wisprflow TBH.
Infact, the entire product could be a simple feature in any AI apps like GPT. They could possibly build this over a coffee (maybe its not too imp in their journey, but GPT gets voice input almost 80% right)
Was hoping for something that beats wispr, but NOPE.
