About Megaphone
Megaphone is an open-source, 100% on-device Mac dictation application designed for Apple silicon Macs running macOS 26. Built by developer Kuber Mehta, it allows users to simply hold the Fn key and speak, instantly typing clean text into any Mac app.
Unlike cloud-based dictation tools, Megaphone leverages Apple's SpeechAnalyzer for real-time transcription while you talk. It then utilizes on-device Foundation Models to automatically clean up your text by removing filler words, fixing self-corrections, adapting to the specific app context, and powering inline voice commands.
With no accounts, API keys, subscriptions, or external servers required, Megaphone ensures complete privacy. It is completely free, open-source under the MIT license, and runs natively on Apple silicon hardware.

About Sologang
Sologang is positioning itself as the ultimate Execution OS specifically built for solo founders and indie makers. Moving beyond the standard conversational AI chatbot, Sologang equips users with a six-role, bring-your-own-key (BYOK) C-suite that actively analyzes your actual product, diagnoses venture bottlenecks, and constructs structured, actionable roadmaps. Instead of merely offering advice, the platform stages the work, allowing founders to review outputs, hit sign-off, and push finalized actions directly into external productivity tools like GitHub and Slack. Security and cost control are core pillars of the platform's architecture. Because it utilizes a BYOK model with device-bound keys, users face zero API markups and retain complete privacy over their credentials. Additionally, built-in 'Budget Guardrails' allow founders to strictly cap their daily or project-based AI expenditures. By combining strategic C-suite simulation with tangible execution controls, Sologang bridges the gap between high-level planning and day-to-day operational output.
