Gubb

Gubb is a native desktop app for macOS and Windows that combines notes, voice-to-text, timers, clipboard history, and to-dos into one offline-first workspace. It replaces several separate tools with a single, fast application that keeps everything local — no cloud, no accounts, no tracking. You can capture thoughts with markdown, search across all notes instantly, and auto-detect to-do lists and Kanban boards from your text.

The app includes AI-powered voice capture that turns speech into formatted notes with smart punctuation, supporting multiple languages and offline processing. Built-in productivity tools include a Pomodoro timer with break reminders, a smart clipboard history, quick calculations, and currency conversion. Gubb also offers focus mode, typewriter mode, custom themes, keyboard sounds, and productivity stats to track writing habits. Everything stays on your device — it works fully offline and collects zero data.

Gubb is best for Mac and Windows users who want a distraction-free, all-in-one productivity tool without subscriptions or cloud dependency. It works well for quick note-taking, brainstorming, shopping lists, temporary reminders, and managing personal tasks. The one-time purchase includes lifetime access and all future updates, with a 7-day free trial available.
