What is Keebye?
Keebye is push-to-talk dictation for Mac and Windows. You hold a hotkey, speak, and release, and the text is inserted into whichever app has focus, including terminals. Speech-to-text runs entirely on your computer, and the page states that audio never leaves your machine.
The product is aimed at builders who work across several tools at once, such as Claude Code, Cursor, and other apps, and want to direct them by voice. Paste insertion uses terminal-aware chunking, and an optional synthetic typing mode is described as working over SSH, inside tmux, and on non-QWERTY layouts.
Other features on the page include an optional local cleanup pass that strips fillers, false starts, and doubled words using deterministic rules, support for 25 languages through the Canary engine or Apple's native engine on a Mac, and a custom dictionary for product names and acronyms. Transcripts are stored as text only on the local machine and auto-delete after 30 days. Once a speech model is downloaded, transcription works offline. On a Mac, Keebye refuses to type into secure password fields; the page notes Windows has no such check yet.
Keebye offers a 14-day free trial, after which Pro is available as monthly, annual, or one-time lifetime plans. The network is used only to download models, check for updates, and confirm plans.

As an engineer whenever you start a new product you kind of build the login screen first. One of the nice things about being in Apple and Google's walls is you actually don't really need to create an account to make a purchase because you're already signed into your Apple or Google account. The biggest win that we had was moving login to after the paywall. We were seeing 10% drop off by having login being the very first screen.
Move login AFTER the paywall — recovered 10% of the funnel
Engineers reflexively build the login screen first because they need it for dev, and then it stays in onboarding forever. Brett moved auth to AFTER the paywall (relying on Apple/Google identity to take the payment first), recovering the ~10% who otherwise bounced at a forced account-creation wall.
you can be a good CEO and a bad manager I'm legitimately not a very good manager... the craft changes They're certainly going to bring a different set of like personal values right to the process of building stuff
CEO and manager are orthogonal skills — own it
Hulls explicitly distinguishes CEO skills (vision, capital allocation, culture, willingness to pick fights) from management skills (developing individuals, executing ops). Product managers at large companies often are not builders at all — they are strategy aligners — and the skills that make a great founder rarely produce a great middle manager. Founders who believe they are failing because they struggle with people management may actually be excellent CEOs; the two roles are not a linear progression.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
