Put one for $10 on Apple App Store and more might impulse buy it.
For my part, I need to be very very sure when it's posted through gumroad. I've gotten burned too many times by short term (as in, within months) abandonware through the gumroad sales channel.
Dev gets bored, doesn't want to deal, download goes unavailable. So you buy it, get a new computer next month, and can't install it. Especially annoying when I "name my own price" typically around $20 to tip the dev, and then the dev won't even keep that build available.

For the App Store I would need to strip off some features.
I think you reasoning is valid, but the app is open source. Worst case one can compile it (e.g. just ask AI agent even if you are not a technical user).
I also put it a low price, for this version, as I would like wide adoption. I truly believe people are going to move heavier into local AI, and it is good to have low friction entries.

Appreciate the concept, seems deeply useful if a bit underbaked at present.
Active STT allows a "No STT loaded" option that mentions it requires a multimodal LLM like Gemma 4. Except even when I use Gemma 4 features, Ctrl+S to dictate doesn't work. Unless I Voice Edit then quickly Dictate as soon as it processes the silence. Sometimes if the Dictation is triggered on silence, it'll just choose to paste whatever text is on screen. There's no way to dismiss the popup with the text before it's ready to vanish on its own. There's no way to preview what the TTS voices sound like without triggering something to be said manually.
It seems like this will be a great tool soon, but currently there are very many rough edges that would benefit greatly from a nice heavy sanding pass.

Love that it's local ai, I think that's the future.

So it's a dictation tool? Then why does "voice to text" barely appear on the page? Why are you describing it here as an AI assistant but the page doesn't say anything about that? "Understands my screen"? Why does my dictation software need to understand my screen? I don't know what "text generation", "AI editing" or "AI writing" even mean.
