Voice to structured notes and diagrams. Talk, and Lucid builds the headings, lists, tables and diagrams while you think, then typesets a PDF. Made to work hands-free or one-handed, and local-first: the language model runs on your own computer.

This first version doesn't listen by itself. You dictate with an app that pastes text, like Wispr Flow, OpenWhispr or VoiceNative (my own, for macOS), and Lucid turns what lands in the box into the page.
The model runs on your own computer, because you talk a lot and change a lot, and a local model keeps that cheap. It always has the page in front of it, so it puts what you said under the right heading and builds the right kind of block. Every change is one undo step, and your words are never lost.
Diagram mode: keywords, connections, editing

Say "done" and the diagram goes onto your page. A database is drawn as
