Why I built this
I was paying $12/month for voice-to-text software. It worked fine. But every month, another charge for something that should just... work.
So I built Finch. It does one thing well: turns your voice into clean text. You pay once, you own it, and you bring your own API keys so there's no middleman between you and the transcription service.
No accounts. No tracking. No "your subscription has expired" popups. Just a tool that sits in your system tray and does its job.
