Tell me what’s wrong

I held the key, started talking, and the first word never showed up — like the app was still waking up. I’d been calling it a hunch for days. Then someone emailed me three sentences about the same pause. No screenshot. No stack trace. Just the feeling, named clearly enough that I couldn’t unsee it.

Their note made it a fact. I fixed it that night.

That’s the whole loop. Not a survey. Not a star rating. One person who used the thing and cared enough to tell me where it broke.

I used to treat silence after a ship as calm. It isn’t. Silence is me missing the seam. The fix only starts when someone is willing to interrupt me — usually with an email.

What I’m asking you for

Clabrate is on-device Mac dictation. You hold a key, you talk, clean text lands at your cursor. Speech stays on your Mac. There’s no usage dashboard on my side, so I don’t learn where it fails unless you tell me.

Clabrate is early. I’m small. I don’t need cheerleaders. I need the person who notices when a pause feels late, when cleanup ate a word you meant, when the key combo fought your muscle memory — and emails me about it.

I’m not asking you to become a tester. No script. Use it for something you’d actually send. When it doesn’t do what you thought it should, email support@clabrate.com. Short is fine. “This broke.” “This felt weird.” “I expected X and got Y.” Three sentences is enough. If something landed clean, say that too — knowing what to leave alone is half the craft.

Be that person. That’s how it gets better.

Try it

Update — 7 October 2026: Clabrate is free now, so the discount code this post used to offer is retired.

If that sounds like you, download Clabrate. It’s free: you verify your email once, and there’s no code or checkout.

Install it. Dictate a real reply or a messy first draft. When something feels off — or when something lands exactly right — email support@clabrate.com.

I don’t need a crowd. I need you to tell me what’s wrong.
