For anyone who dictates with Spotify running in the background: Monologue can automatically pause or mute your audio when you start dictating.
You can turn it on under Settings → Mic & Audio.
Yesterday we launched Dot, Monologue’s new recorder UI.
It looks tiny. Building it wasn’t.
Lucas Fischer and Naveen unpack the accessibility work, discarded prototypes, performance tradeoffs, and why we removed most of the animation.
Here’s the full conversation
Grateful to @naveennaidu_m for letting me explore and build this feature for @usemonologue.
So excited to see it finally ship. Truly appreciate the trust and support to run wild with an idea and bring it to life. 🫶
Love the dot. Monologue has me going voice first across all my apps - not just my harnesses.
The CLI and agent integration is awesome for local agents!
My favorite dictation app on every platform keeps getting better.
I use Monologue almost religiously every day and continue to love its CLI and support for agents.
Meet Dot, the new Monologue recorder UI
- Stays beside your caret so you know where your text will appear
- Follows you across apps and puts your text where you started
- Moves out of the way when you’re not recording
Available today in Monologue for Mac v1.5.0
ai notes 08/20:
- pstack is the best thing i've tried in a while
- giving grok bot linux versions of apps is underrated
- mine dictation transcripts for factory improvements
- prompting while z2 running is heaven
I love Codex automations.
I wrote this guide for our paying members 3 months ago, and I still use every piece of it:
- Process @usemonologue notes
- Save emails to task manager
- Auto tag read-later items
