Cloudless Voice Published an On-Device Dictation Tool and Put Wispr Flow's $12/Month Price in Its Own Copy
Cloudless (Show HN, 2026-08-29) is an open-source voice dictation app running fully on-device with Parakeet V3 on MLX plus a fine-tuned Llama 1B for formatting and cleanup, so no audio leaves the machine. The landing page names the incumbent and the number directly: "Wispr Flow is $12/month and only offers 2,000 free words/week." It is free for individual non-commercial use capped at the first 5,000 signups, with enterprise plans on request, which is the now-familiar shape of a local-model product using the free tier as distribution and reserving monetization for compliance-bound buyers.
