Hi everyone, I'm Adam, the founder of Hermes, and I wanted to take a moment to introduce what we're working on and why it matters to me. If you've ever thought your MacBook could handle tasks more naturally—why stick to typing in 2025?—then this might interest you.

Hermes is a voice dictation tool that works with any app on macOS. It's built to be the fastest, privacy-focused speech-to-text option available. All processing happens on your device, with no data sent to the cloud. We've integrated AI throughout to make it customizable, like training it for specific terms in coding or setting up quick voice commands.

It's similar to how Raycast improved keyboard shortcuts on Mac— we're doing that for voice. Dictate code into your editor, draft emails and chats, or write in Figma without typing. The aim is a smooth, voice-based system that helps you work more efficiently.

Our goal is to support 1 million users in saving time and increasing productivity. As a developer who's dealt with typing fatigue, I believe this can make a real difference. We're early on, but if you're on macOS, visit hermesapp.com for beta access.

What are your thoughts on voice tools for workflows? Leave a comment or reach me on X @adamsenese. Let's connect.

Best,

Adam
