MicBridge
Read full descriptionHide full description
Dictate on your iPhone and the text is typed into whatever app is focused on your Mac or Windows PC — Word, a browser, a chat box, anything. Send images and files both ways too. It all runs on-device and over your own local network: no cloud, no account, no sign-up. WHAT IT DOES - Voice straight into the computer. Speech is recognised on your iPhone, shown as an editable draft, then typed as real keystrokes into the focused app the moment you tap Send. - Two-way file & photo transfer. Phone to computer and back. Images land on the computer clipboard ready to paste; send a file to the phone and it opens a Save/Share sheet. Large files stream without eating memory. - Cantonese, Mandarin and English dictation, switchable in one tap. WORKS WITHOUT WI-FI Corporate Wi-Fi that locks devices apart, a public hotspot with client isolation, or no network at all — turn on Bluetooth on both devices, scan the same QR, and you are connected. MicBridge types over Bluetooth when there is no usable Wi-Fi, so it keeps working in offices, hotels and on the road. (Bluetooth carries text; photos and files still need Wi-Fi.) PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Speech is processed entirely on-device and is never uploaded. - Text, images and files travel only over your local network, end-to-end encrypted with AES-GCM, to the computer you paired with. - No accounts, no cloud, no servers, no analytics. - Pairing keys stay on the device — Keychain on iOS, DPAPI on Windows. SET UP IN THREE STEPS 1. Open the free MicBridge companion on your Mac or Windows PC and choose Pair new device — a QR code appears. 2. On iPhone, tap Scan to pair and scan the QR. 3. Speak, review the draft, tap Send. The text types into your focused app. Tap the paperclip to send a photo or file. The desktop companion for macOS and Windows is a free download from the MicBridge site. MICBRIDGE PRO (OPTIONAL) - Monthly subscription: auto-renewable, cancel anytime in Settings. - Lifetime: one-time purchase, unlock forever. Prices are shown on the in-app purchase page.

Unlimited, free email on your own domain. Omucloud gives you the mailbox, the iPhone app and the web app. No mail server, no monthly fee, no credit card. Start on a free @omumail.co address and add your own domain when you are ready. Omucloud is an email client and the mail service behind it. You do not connect an existing Gmail or Outlook account — Omucloud provides the mailbox. Claim a free @omucloud.co address at signup, then bring a domain you already own. MAIL • Read received mail in your inbox, and switch to a Sent view. • Search your mail from the inbox. • Write rich text email with file attachments and inline images. • Reply, reply all, forward, and save drafts. • Address suggestions appear as you type, drawn from people you have recently written to. • Set a signature once in Settings and it goes out on every message. • Received mail renders real HTML, including images. • Open an attachment and send it straight to the iOS share sheet. YOUR OWN DOMAIN • Add your domain in Settings. • Omucloud generates the DKIM, SPF and MX records to publish at your registrar. • Watch live per-record status while DNS propagates, usually in minutes. • Start on a free @omucloud.co address and add your domain later without losing anything. • Own the domain and you can create more mailboxes on it. CALENDAR • Create, edit and view events, with attendees and timezones. • Invitations go out as real iTIP/ICS scheduling messages, so people on Gmail, Outlook or Apple Calendar get a proper invite. • Save your usual meeting-room details once — link, dial-in, passcode — and paste the whole block into an event with one tap. • Links in event details and locations are tappable. BUILT FOR IPHONE • Push notifications for new mail, and event reminders 15 minutes ahead. • Switch each kind on or off in Settings. • Pull to refresh, swipe back from the edge, haptics, and the native share sheet. • Stay signed in between launches. YOUR ACCOUNT • Change your password in the app. • Delete your account from Settings. It asks for your password, and it is irreversible: the account, your mail, your files and your registered domain all go. FAQ Can I really get email on my own domain for free? Yes. One custom domain per account, with real two-way send and receive — not forwarding. Do I need to run a mail server? No. Omucloud handles sending, receiving, DKIM/SPF authentication and storage. You only publish DNS records at whoever you bought the domain from. Can I use this with my existing Gmail or Outlook account? No. Omucloud is the mailbox itself, not an IMAP or POP client for other services. What if I do not have a domain yet? Claim a free @omucloud.co address and add a domain later from Settings. Does Omucloud read my iPhone contacts? No. It asks for no Contacts permission and never touches your address book. Recipient suggestions come from your own recent mail. Does Omucloud create Zoom or Google Meet meetings? No. It stores the joining details you type and pastes them into an event. There is no video provider integration. Omucloud is free. No in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no ads, no paid tier, and no tracking or analytics.
