OpenLess

OpenLess is an open-source voice input application for macOS and Windows that turns spoken ideas into polished text at the current cursor position. Users press a global hotkey, speak naturally, and release the key to receive cleaned-up text inside apps such as ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Notion, email clients, or chat boxes. Unlike basic dictation tools, it is designed to restructure loose speech into more useful writing, especially AI prompts with clearer context and constraints. The app follows a local-first and open-source approach, while allowing users to bring their own cloud credentials for speech recognition and chat completion services. It also tries to preserve input by copying output to the clipboard if direct insertion fails. OpenLess is best suited for people who think faster by speaking and want cleaner text without manually rewriting every rough thought.
