Good app, came just as my Speakflow subscription was about to renew. Firstly, I love that this is offline. Speakflow even wants to capture your video recordings, and is massively overpriced for what it is. Improvements to Notchie needed ASAP: 1. Voice flow mode on Speakflow is remarkably good and works on a word by word basis (pausing and continuing), Notchie just seems to be a simple voice activator. So it goes running off scrolling through the entire script at the slightest sound. Seeing as it’s so small, you’ve got far less room for this to go wrong. This needs to be improved ASAP. Nice to haves: 1. Copy and pasting my scripts from Speakflow should default to one text, I want to just see one uniform black or white text in the same size, not be messing around pasting it into a text editor to remove the formatting and then into Notchie. Overall, nice work. If voice activated mode were made more robust this would be a daily driver for me. Thanks for adding this, Setapp.

Thanks a lot for the thoughtful review, really appreciate it. On voice activation, you’re right. Right now it’s intentionally based on raw audio level, not word-by-word recognition. That was a tradeoff to keep it fully offline, fast, and lightweight. The downside is exactly what you described. I’m already working on a more advanced version using OS-level models (Parakeet v3), which should make it behave much closer to Speakflow while keeping things local. On the copy/paste formatting, good catch. I’ll add a “paste as plain text” / normalize option so you don’t have to clean it up manually. Thanks again, this kind of feedback is super helpful.

Notchie has been great, the best option out there. I’m having trouble getting the Voice Activation feature to work, and I don’t see any information on your website on how to use it. Can you please provide some information to best utilize it?

Very responsive developer. Fantastic even. Found out what I was doing wrong. It was my SM7B needing too much power to trigger the voice mode but I can use it in just speaking and it works fantastically. For anybody needing this for recording without looking like you're reading, it is absolutely fantastic.

Based on my first use, this is a really neat tool. I wish that I had it during COVID when I was recording many lectures. Good work.

Thanks, really appreciate it. Yeah, this would’ve saved a lot of awkward “looking slightly off camera” moments back then 😄 Glad you’re finding it useful now!
