OpenCode Superapp vs Speech To Markdown: Features, Pricing & Which Is Better (2026)
A side-by-side comparison of OpenCode Superapp and Speech To Markdown — features, pricing, and ideal use cases — to help you decide which AI tool fits your workflow.
OpenCode Superapp
MedHue Labs
OpenCode Superapp is a native, local-first Mac workspace that gives the OpenCode runtime browser, computer-use, voice, and extensible widgets.
Key features
- Any OpenCode Provider: Use every model and provider OpenCode supports with your own credentials and billing, from OpenAI and Anthropic to xAI and Ollama.
- Integrated Local Ollama: Install the app-managed Ollama engine and discover models already stored in your local library over a private loopback endpoint.
- Native Desktop Workflows: Projects, parallel sessions, Files, Git, worktrees, terminals, search, and configuration stay in one workspace instead of scattered tools.
- In-app Browser Automation: A Superpower that lets OpenCode inspect and operate the exact web experience in an embedded Browser under permission-gated actions.
- Guarded Native Computer Use: A Superpower that operates native macOS applications through guarded tools with consequential actions kept visible.
- Supe Realtime Voice + Local Dictation: Speak to Supe to create, message, monitor, and open OpenCode tasks, or compose prompts with private multilingual dictation.
- Extensible with Widgets, Skills, and MCP: Add commands, right-panel apps, Skills, MCP services, and local packages, or ask the agent to build, preview, and publish Home widgets with isolated storage.
Best for
- Private local coding: Route sessions to on-device Qwen or other Ollama models when working on sensitive code that cannot leave the Mac.
- Voice-driven task control: Use Supe Realtime Voice to open, monitor, and message OpenCode tasks hands-free while multitasking.
- Web-flow automation: Have OpenCode inspect and drive the in-app Browser to complete a real web task and hand the result back into the workspace.
- Native app manipulation: Grant Computer Use to a workflow that needs to move files, click through a macOS app, or coordinate two desktop tools.
- Remote control from mobile: Continue a real OpenCode session from a paired phone or browser via the encrypted relay while the Mac stays home.
- Custom project dashboards: Ask the agent to draft a Home widget for ship status or test counts, preview it live, and publish once it feels right.
- MCP-connected knowledge: Attach MCP services and local resource packages so the workspace pulls in project context instead of re-crawling every session.
Speech To Markdown
xajik
Free, 100% local macOS menu-bar app that turns speech into structured markdown using whisper.cpp and any local LLM.

- Agent Mode Live Structuring: A floating capsule streams your voice through the LLM into a real-time Markdown, plain text, or HTML document.
- One-Line Install: A single curl-piped script installs xcodegen, whisper-cpp, and ffmpeg via Homebrew, then builds the app from source into /Applications.

- Multiple Output Formats: Format, edit, or append the LLM output as Markdown, plain text, or HTML from a single control panel.
