What is Vowen?

Vowen is a voice-first productivity app for macOS and Windows that puts voice control and dictation right at your fingertips. It works entirely offline by default, keeping your data private on your device. Dictate anywhere — in any app — with unlimited free speech-to-text across 100+ languages and dialects. Real-time translation to English is always available.

Beyond dictation, Vowen captures meetings, lectures, and podcasts automatically. It detects when you're on a call, records, and transcribes with speaker labels. You can ask anything about the meeting, get instant summaries, and sync notes to Obsidian, Slack, Notion, or any webhook endpoint.

Voice workflows let you turn spoken trigger phrases into actions: open apps, run commands, merge PDFs, set timers, or convert media files. Custom instructions adapt Vowen’s output to your preferred writing style per application.

Choose from local models or bring your own cloud provider key for higher accuracy. Vowen integrates deeply with your workflow, from code editing to messaging, making voice the ultimate interface for getting things done.

personal agent logo

personal agent

freemium

ego is a personal AI agent that lives across your browser, desktop, and phone. It remembers your projects, preferences, and work patterns, and runs multiple tasks in parallel 24/7. You can interact with ego via voice (just hold fn and speak), iMessage, Dynamic Island, a desktop agent, or its AI browser. Hand it tasks like summarizing tabs, replying to emails, conducting deep research, building apps from descriptions, generating content in your tone, filling forms, or monitoring web changes. ego works while you're away, delivering finished files and pinging you for approvals. Unlike chatbots, ego doesn't just chat—it acts inside your real accounts and files, learning from your actual work activities. It builds persistent memory so it gets better at knowing you over time. Unlike AI browsers, ego runs tasks in the background 24/7, across devices, and handles entire workflows beyond the browser. Your data is encrypted, synced across devices, and never used for training AI models. ego is made for everyone, not just developers, and requires zero configuration.

Applyre AI logo

Applyre AI

paid

Applyre AI automates the most time-consuming parts of job hunting. Instead of searching and applying manually, the platform scans thousands of company career pages every day, finds roles posted within the last 24 hours, and filters them by your exact preferences—like location, remote, salary, and skills. It even skips companies you’ve blocked, so only relevant opportunities reach you. Once jobs are identified, Applyre’s AI fills out the application form with your profile, customises your resume to the job description, and generates a tailored cover letter that reads like you wrote it yourself. Every application is then reviewed by a real person who checks accuracy, tone, formatting, and overall fit before submission. The application is submitted directly through the company’s career page—just as you would do manually—and you receive the confirmation email in your own inbox. With plans starting at 40 applications per month, Applyre helps you reclaim over 25 hours each week and get significantly more interviews by getting your application in front of hiring managers early, beating both applicant tracking systems and the competition.
