Show HN: Tickk.app – Local-only voice braindumps → tasks (no AI, no cloud)

https://tickk.app/
1•digi_wares•1d ago
Hi HN,

I built Tickk.app to solve a personal problem: I think much faster than I can type, and most “productivity” apps either slow me down or push everything to the cloud.

Tickk lets you speak messy thoughts or braindumps and turns them into structured tasks and notes using lightweight NLP — all entirely in the browser.

There’s:

no AI (please don't expect LLM level outputs) no cloud no accounts no data leaving your device

Everything is stored in localStorage.

This started as a small experiment for myself (especially helpful for ADHD-style racing thoughts), but I figured others here might find the approach interesting — particularly the choice to stay local-only instead of using LLMs.

I’m curious:

Does local-first still matter to people?

What would make a tool like this genuinely useful long-term?

Thanks for checking it out- feedback very welcome.
