I’ve been trying to improve my spoken English by recording myself every day.

The problem is: I kept making the same mistakes, but reviewing the videos didn’t really help because I couldn’t spot patterns.

So I built a small Mac app just for myself.

It lets you:

• record a short video journal
• get feedback on pronunciation and grammar, and hear a corrected version of your speech
• see recurring mistakes over time

One thing I’m experimenting with is detecting patterns (not just single corrections), which is something I personally struggled with.

I’m using it daily, but I genuinely don’t know if this is useful beyond my own use case.
15 languages supported at the moment.

A couple of notes:

• runs locally on your Mac (videos are not uploaded)
• you need your own API keys for the AI part (I added a guide)

If anyone wants to try it:

I’d really appreciate honest feedback:

• is this actually useful?
• is anything confusing or overcomplicated?
• what would make this something you’d use consistently?

Also open source if you’re curious how it works
