Hello! 👋 Product Designer turned Indie Hacker. Building a "Ghost Twin" for macOS.

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m a product designer turned indie dev.

I’m working on GHOSTYPE—a context-aware AI voice interface for macOS.

I built this because I was tired of two things:

1. "Smart" tools are actually dumb: If I say "Ask Mike to hang out tomorrow," standard AI writes a formal email. I don't want to dictate every word, and I don't want to sound like a robot. I wanted a tool that takes my intent and writes the actual message as me.

2. AI tools that break my flow (copy-pasting, hitting Enter manually).

So I built a native macOS interface that sits between your voice and your apps. It doesn't just "transcribe"—it automates the whole input workflow.

Here is what it actually does:

⚡️ 1. Smart Auto-Send (No Keyboard Needed) It detects where you are.

• In Slack? It types and hits Cmd+Enter.

• In Discord? It hits Enter.

• In Notes? It just pastes. I can reply to messages without touching my keyboard once.

🎨 2. App-Specific Profiles It context-switches for me.

• Outlook: Automatically polished to "Professional".

• Telegram: Switches to "Casual & Lowercase".

• VS Code: Formats code blocks automatically.

🧩 3. Ghost Morph (Agent Skills) It’s not just for chatting. Hold a modifier key to trigger custom agents:

• "Turn this rant into a structured Jira Ticket."

• "Turn this thought into a Twitter Thread."

👻 4. Ghost Twin (The Soul That Speaks For Me) This is the core. The engine analyzes my local message history to learn my habits.

• Input: "Tell him I'm running late."

• Output: "Yo, running 5 mins late. Start without me. 🏃" (Because that's how I talk). It doesn't just polish; it generates the message based on my intent and style.

🔒 And yes, it’s Privacy-Focused. Since I'm an indie dev and can't afford cloud storage for everyone, I built it on a Local-Storage architecture. Your writing history and style vectors never leave your Mac.

I’m currently polishing the beta

I’d love to know: Which part of your current writing workflow is the most painful? Formatting? Tone checking? Or just the typing itself?
