Writher – Privacy-first local AI voice assistant for Windows

Summary: Writher is an open-source, fully local voice assistant for Windows that provides instant voice dictation and manages notes, reminders, and agendas without sending data to the cloud. It uses Whisper for speech-to-text and Ollama for local AI commands, ensuring total privacy by keeping all processing on the device.

What it does

Writher enables voice dictation in any active Windows app via a clipboard injection method and offers a smart assistant that parses spoken commands to create reminders and notes stored in a local SQLite database. It operates through a floating widget and two modes activated by keyboard shortcuts.

Who it's for

It is designed for Windows users who want a private, offline voice assistant to dictate text and manage tasks without relying on cloud services or API keys.

Why it matters

Writher solves privacy concerns by processing all voice data locally, eliminating the need to send sensitive information to external servers.
