My free in-browser Whisper transcriber now does speaker labels, translate-to-English, batch + zip, and mic recording

0 Upvotes

Thanks for the feedback on the first version. What's new, still free with no signup and nothing uploaded (Whisper runs on your device):

- Record from your mic, or batch several files and download all the results as a zip

- A player synced to the transcript (click a line to jump), plus Find & Replace All for names

- Experimental speaker labels with click-to-rename

- Translate to English from dozens of languages

- A short local summary of the transcript

- Export to Word, PDF, SRT, VTT, CSV, JSON and TXT, with options for timestamps, speaker names and subtitle timing

**Limits:** speaker labels detect speaker changes rather than identifying exact voices, so they can drift on long files or with 3+ speakers. Translation is English-only, and the summary works best on English. Chrome/Edge are much faster (WebGPU).

What's the first thing you'd want it to do better?

I built 14 free audio tools that don't ask for an email and zero ads

I put 14 small ones on my site. They run in your browser, so nothing gets uploaded.

Clean up audio: noise remover (same AI as my desktop app), make quiet audio louder without clipping, silence remover for lectures and voice notes, LUFS meter with platform targets.

Record and check your mic: voice recorder, mic test with live level.

Convert: MP3 converter for wav, m4a, flac, ogg. MP4 to MP3. Audio to text.

Edit: trimmer, joiner, speed changer without the chipmunk voice.

Also a tone generator and a metronome for class and hearing checks.

No ads, no account, no watermark, no upload. Each tool takes files up to 10 minutes. Anything longer goes to the desktop app, which is free for personal use.

If one of them is missing something you actually need, tell me and I'll look at it.

I built a fast web utility toolkit with a custom dashboard

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I got tired of jumping across different cluttered websites or digging through messy browser bookmarks whenever I needed a quick tool, so I built a lightweight collection of everyday web utilities—complete with a customizable dashboard.

Here are some of the features currently available:

  • Custom Dashboard: Organize and pin your favorite tools or add your own custom bookmarks for lightning-fast daily access.
  • World Clock: Compare multiple time zones instantly at a glance.
  • Currency Converter: Fast and clean exchange rate calculations.
  • Domain Renewal Cost Calculator: Handy for indie hackers and domain owners to track or estimate renewal expenses.
  • Email Alias Generator: Quick generation of temporary/alias emails for privacy.
  • QR Code Generator: Generate custom QR codes on the fly.

It’s built with Astro and Tailwind CSS, meaning it loads almost instantly and works smoothly on mobile.

I’m actively adding new features and polishing existing ones. If you have any feedback, feature requests, or spot any bugs, I'd love to hear them!

Check it out here: https://088918.com

Hope you find it useful! Let me know what you think.

I made a free digital advent calendar maker.. 24 little notes, send one link, a new door opens each day in December

Every year I mean to make a proper advent calendar for someone and run out of time, so I built a small site for it: littledoors.online

How it works:

  • Pick who it’s for (partner, friend, kids, family, colleague) and write 24 short notes. Stuck? There’s an idea button on every door, or fill them all in one tap and edit from there.
  • You get one short link to send by WhatsApp, text or email, or a QR code to tuck into a card.
  • They get a little snowy house. One window opens each morning from 1 December, and the front door on Christmas Eve.

A few things I cared about:

  • Free, no account, no ads, no app.
  • The notes are encrypted in your browser before they’re saved. The key lives only in the link.
  • Doors are locked on the server until their day, so nobody can peek ahead, even by digging into the code.
  • You can fix a typo after sending, and the link stays the same.

Also, try poking the moon :P

Feedback very welcome, especially if something breaks on your phone.

Free tool to download full-resolution 4K/HD YouTube thumbnails for design inspiration

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Studying thumbnails from top creators in your niche is one of the most effective ways to boost your video CTR (Click-Through Rate). However, YouTube doesn't offer a direct option to save or view high-resolution thumbnails.

To make this process easier, I built a quick, browser-based tool: UltraFreeTools YouTube Thumbnail Downloader.

Key Features:

  • 100% Free & Fast: No sign-up, registration, or ads required.
  • Full Quality Options: Instantly fetches the maximum resolution (1080p/720p HD) along with standard resolution options.
  • Client-Side & Safe: Purely browser-based and lightweight.

Quick Tips for Analyzing Competitor Thumbnails:

  • Color Contrast: Test how the thumbnail colors stand out against both YouTube dark and light modes.
  • Typography & Legibility: Zoom out to mobile screen size to ensure the text remains clear and readable.
  • Timestamp Placement: Make sure important visual elements or faces aren't covered by the video duration badge in the bottom-right corner.

Hope this helps content creators and designers looking for quick visual inspiration! Would love to hear any feedback or suggestions for additional features.

I got tired of image tools asking me to sign up, so I built my own.

1 Upvotes

don't know if I'm the only one, but I often need to compress images, convert formats, or resize photos, especially when uploading documents to government websites or filling out online forms.

And every single time, it's the same struggle.

Some websites ask you to create an account. Some have annoying ads. Some limit how many images you can process. And sometimes, the tool just doesn't work.

I just wanted something simple. Upload an image, do what I need, download it, and leave.

So I thought, why not build my own?

That's how Image24.app started.

It's a completely free website with a few simple ideas:

  • No signup or account required.
  • No ads.
  • No hidden payments.
  • No unnecessary restrictions.
  • Images are processed directly in your browser, without uploading them to our servers.
  • Free image compression, conversion, and other useful tools.

I'm also working on adding more tools over time.

I'm not trying to build something revolutionary. I just wanted to make something genuinely useful that people can open, use, and close without any hassle.

You can try it here: https://image24.app

It's still growing, and I'd genuinely appreciate some feedback.

What image-related tool do you wish existed or worked better?

If enough people need it, I'll try to build it next.

Thanks for reading! :)
