    • MacWhisper (free but recommended upgrade 25 euro) - High quality, customizable and reliable audio transcription software using OpenAI Whisper
    • Recordia ($4) - Voice memos if it was lighter, more reliable, and one click in your menu bar
    • Orion (free) - Web browser developed by the folks at Kagi that brings the best of Safari and enhances it with QoL improvements, like performance, chrome and Firefox extension support, custom search engines, ad blocking, vertical tabs, etc.
    • Raycast (free) - Spotlight for developers. Get quick conversions, calculations, and file searches or extend its powers with the huge extension library that me and many others have contributed to


  • Nothing can stop 100% of bots. The goal with captchas like Turnstile is to use a significant portion of your resources to the point it’s expensive and slow to perform an attack.

    Turnstile runs many background checks on your browser, so headless browsers automatically become futile.

    JavaScript PoW challenges are performed that take up multiple seconds of execution time, memory and CPU. This alone is a deterrent because sequential attacks become extremely long to execute.

    Concurrent attacks are still unfeasible because Turnstile ups the difficulty if it detects something is up, and receiving requests from thousands of botnet IPs is bound to trip an alarm.
