For software engineers
We handle the rest.
You already narrate your decisions on standups, in reviews, and to whoever happens to be nearby. Resonant captures that version — raw, technical, real — and produces the written artifact without the translation cost.
The real friction
It starts with: “It's faster to just type the PR description.”
That calculation is wrong, and you know it. Typing the description is slower than writing the code. You just don't notice because the friction is evenly distributed — a few minutes here, a few there, at the end of every day.
The verbal version already exists. You explained the change to a teammate in two minutes. That explanation was accurate, complete, and probably better than what ended up in the PR. Resonant routes it into the text field instead of letting it disappear.
Design docs, incident postmortems, architecture decision records — every one of these has a verbal version that arrived first. Stop paying the translation tax twice.
What actually happens
PR description, spoken after finishing a refactor
“so this PR basically cleans up the auth flow, the old code was doing three separate database calls for the same user lookup which was like obviously inefficient, I moved it into a single query with a join and added some caching so now it should be way faster especially under load”
Refactors the auth flow to consolidate three redundant user-lookup queries into a single joined query with caching. Expected improvement: significant latency reduction under load. No API surface changes.
Everything runs on your Mac. Your voice never touches a server — only the finished text leaves your device.
Where it fits
Explain the change once, out loud, the way you'd explain it to a reviewer. Resonant writes the description. You ship faster.
Capture the timeline and root cause while it's fresh — spoken, unstructured, in order. Edit the structured version, not a blank document.
Architecture decisions live in your head before they live anywhere else. Dictate the reasoning. The document is just the audit trail.
Thorough prompts get better output. Typing context is friction. Speaking it isn't — and the model doesn't care how it arrived.
How it works
One hotkey activates Resonant anywhere on your Mac. No app switching. No setup. No mode.
Your voice never leaves your machine. Everything is processed locally — fast, private, no cloud dependency.
Filler words removed. Sentences completed. The thought, structured and ready to send.
Privacy
Your system design, unreleased features, internal tooling decisions — none of this should travel through a vendor's audio processing infrastructure. Cloud dictation tools create a record on a server you don't control.
Resonant processes audio locally on your Mac. The only thing that leaves is the text you chose to send. Anything you'd hesitate to put in an external email is safe to dictate.
