I read Markdown all day, mostly Claude .md, and other AI outputs. Every app I have tried felt janky or too much work to just read an md file. I just wanted to open a .md file and read it the way Preview opens a PDF.

So I built Kite, a Markdown reader for Mac. It has QuickLook just like Preview and I have baked in features that help people reading lot's of AI markdowns.

It one-time purchase, no subscription.

I put it on TestFlight so you can try it before paying anything. I would really like this crowd to try to break it. Tell me which files render wrong,what feels off, what is missing.

This makes a lot of sense. You would be recording what would probably be very intimate thoughts so it makes sense why you would be concerned. Thanks for the feedback. I think the search suggestion be a good addition to the app.

Yeah. Whisper does a good job of removing the pauses and filler words. This is the main reason I chose to use it.

Thanks for this feedback. Makes a lot of sense. I'm pretty new to all of this. Do you have any suggestions of effective ways to reach people using these apps?

I am a product designer by profession, and recently, I ventured into coding and started developing applications. Today, I'm excited to share a project I've been passionately working on.

The concept is a voice-activated journal: just voice-record your thoughts, and the app will transcribe them into text.

I built this to help those like me who struggle to build a journaling habit. Also has features that encourage habbit building like a streak/tracker and a threshold marker encouraging you to record a minimum amount.

I used OpneAI Whisper to power the transcriptions which means you can record journals in most common languages and it will transcribe it accurately.

I am hoping to get feedback from all of you:

Would you use this? If Yes, how often? If No, What would hold you back?

Would you pay for this? If yes: How much, If no: what if added would make you want to pay for it?
