Hold Your Voice

What is Hold Your Voice?

Hold Your Voice, also called hyv, scans a draft for AI writing patterns and rewrites them in your voice, line by line. Scans run on the machine. New hyv subscriptions are closed because hyv is now part of ellora.

What Hold Your Voice does

hyv flags 250+ AI tells, including buzzwords, fake storytelling, and robotic cadence, across vocabulary, rhythm, tone, and structure. A scan can run in the terminal, in GitHub Actions, in Cloudflare, in n8n, or while editing. The command hyv scan can fail a build, hyv watch re-scans on save, and hyv batch can scan markdown in a folder. The profile is built from writing samples, and every accept or reject teaches it. One profile works in Cursor, Claude, Codex, and Windsurf. hyv does not call its own LLM. The draft stays on the laptop. The voice profile and learning signals are stored server-side. The page says hyv has joined ellora, new subscriptions are closed, and voice profiles and drafts continue on ellora.

Who Hold Your Voice is for

The about page says Hold Your Voice is for founders, creators, teams, and writers who use AI and want the draft to stay recognisable. Shashank is on the about page.

How Hold Your Voice works

The three steps on the page are sign up, scan any draft, and build a voice profile. The sign up step says find your voice for $1 your first month. Save a ChatGPT or Claude output to a file, or paste straight into the terminal. The local scan flags each line before anything ships. Accept or reject teaches the profile. MCP setup is hyv mcp --setup, or auto on install for Cursor, Claude, and Windsurf. New hyv subscriptions are closed, and the page says continue with ellora.
