Sayonic lives in your Mac's notch. Say what you want and it opens apps and tabs, finds files, adds notes and events, or hands the job to a coding agent you already use. From $3.99 a month per Mac with your own keys, or Pro and Max with Cloud credits included.
Hi Product Hunt, I'm Ahmad, the maker of Sayonic.
I wanted a Mac assistant that does the small things I ask instead of typing out what I said. Sayonic is a pill that sits in the notch (or at any screen edge). Tap it, speak normally, and it opens the app, finds the tab or file, writes the note or adds the meeting.
A few things I cared about:
- Your choice of brain: Sayonic Cloud with 6,000 credits a month on Pro or 25,000 on Max, CLI agents like Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI with their own sign-in, your own API key, or local models through Ollama or LM Studio.
- It asks before it guesses, and agents ask before they act: Allow, Always allow or Deny.
- Plain privacy: your voice and a short summary of the screen go to the brain you chose, only when you ask. No analytics, no ads.
- It follows Urdu and Hindi mixed into English, which is how a lot of people actually talk.
It's $7.99 a month per Mac on Pro, or $19.99 on Max for more Cloud credits, so no API keys are needed to start. If you already have keys or use a coding agent, BYOK (bring your own keys) is $3.99 with every feature and no Cloud credits. Yearly gives two months free. For launch week: 3,000 bonus Cloud credits with code PRODUCTHUNT for the first 1,000 accounts (one each), until 9 October. I'd love to hear what you'd ask it to do, and where it falls short.
Finally, I can put my bangs to something useful instead of just watching the music play!
@jackdonovan Ha, love that! The notch finally earns its space. Thanks for checking Sayonic out, and tell us what you'd like it to do next.
the BYOK + CLI agents option is what caught my eye since Claude Code is basically my main driver these days. when you hand a task off to Claude Code or Codex from a voice command, does Sayonic wait for the whole thing to finish before telling you anything, or does it narrate progress back through the notch for a longer-running task? asking because voice feels great for the "open this, find that" stuff but I'd want some signal during a multi-minute agent run instead of just silence.
@galdayan Great question, Gal! Right now it stays quiet while the agent works, on purpose. Sayonic shows short plain steps on screen ("Reading a file…", "Searching the web…") so you can see it's moving, then gives you the answer when the run finishes. It doesn't read out the agent's raw output.
Spoken progress updates for long Claude Code and Codex runs are a good idea, and we're adding it to our list. Would you rather hear a quick update every few minutes, or only at key moments?
@expertguy only at key moments for me, honestly. a tick every few minutes on something like "still reading files" would start to feel like a progress bar I'm tuning out. what I'd actually want to hear is just the handful of decision points - it picked this file over that one, it's about to run a command that changes something - the stuff where if it goes a bad direction I'd want to catch it before the run finishes, not a heartbeat.
