Who hunted Doing?
Doing was hunted by Brian Ellin. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.

👋 I'm Brian, and I created Doing to help me share the context that's in my head and on my screen with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and other AI agents. I've used the other tools and they are slow, expensive, and full of privacy nightmares. Doing is the opposite.
Doing is not a general purpose voice transcription tool like the myriad of other voice apps others out there, but purpose built for pairing with your agent. It is simple, fast, and gets out of your way so you can get the ideas out of your head and into the context window.
A few things I'm proud of:
🌱 Simple, effective workflow. Hold a hotkey and Doing listens. The cyan pip follows your mouse, so you'll know where your words will land. (watch the vid above)
🔥 Fastest transcription. NVIDIA's Parakeet is 10-100x faster at transcribing than the alternatives, and it runs entirely on your Mac (Apple Silicon required). There is no latency, no waiting. You really have to try the TDT approach to believe how incredible it truly is.
⚡ YOLO mode. Auto-submit your prompt after pasting. Talk, release, and your words and screenshots are already submitted. Avoid the self-editing anti-pattern and let the LLM do its thing.
🙅♂️ Hands free mode. Tap shift to go hands free and just talk. Tap it again to wrap it up.
📸 Screenshots. Drag a rectangle to grab visual context that's automatically added to your transcription.
📝 Markdown transcripts. Transcripts are saved locally as daily .md files. Integrates perfectly with your Obsidian knowledge base.
🔒 Truly local. Your audio never leaves your machine. Not a privacy policy, it's architecture.
📚 Nerd words. Doing is for AI builders and understands AI Engineering, Software Engineering, Product & Biz dev terms and terminology. You can add your own dictionaries, terms, and common corrections.
⚒️ Customize with skills. Post-process your transcriptions with LLM based skills, and tune based on target app. Follows the SKILLS.md standard.
Free trial, no account needed. If you like it, it's $49 and yours forever. I'll be here all day and would love to hear your questions and feedback!
