Heard is a macOS voice layer for your agentic workflows. It connects to Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor and turns their output into intelligent summaries you can hear. Full commentary when your eyes are elsewhere, or silence until something errors or needs a decision. With agents run in parallel, Heard summarizes at the project level, so you hear where the work stands, not five terminals talking over each other. Pair your phone and it comes with you. Open source, free for personal use.
Congratulations! really interesting approach to agent monitoring. can heard read updates in different languages or with different voice options? how customisable is the speech output?
Heard
@daniel_harris11 right now it's English only but we're working on translations soon! great catch. For speech output you can pick how verbose you want it to be, and how quiet you want it - ie. only interrupt on hard injections or do summaries along the way too
Congratulations! 🚀
The open source angle is a big plus. are you accepting community contributions already? which areas of the project need the most help?
Heard
@luz_bidelspach yes we've had some contributions already! would love your input :)
congratulations! very unique positioning for an AI assistant. does heard require internet connectivity for speech generation? or can everything run locally?
Heard
@easton_carter it runs locally but I think claude / codex needs internet to run! :)
The one clear story positioning is compelling. does Heard generate summaries continuously or at scheduled intervals?
can users choose the cadence? that seems important for different workflows.
Heard
@colton_drake you can pick the cadence and the interaction modes! it does both continuously or scheduled and you can pick what's best for you
Congrats! quick question : how does Heard protect sensitive project information during processing? are summaries generated locally whenever possible?
Heard
@fletcher_oliver you can use our open source core and put your own keys - it stays completely local in that case!
how detailed can those summaries become? can users choose between quick updates and deeper explanations?
Heard
@croft_benjamin yes we have different modes, you can pick between companion which is the more detailed or focus mode - which only interrupts you when input is needed!
Congratulations on the launch!
Really like the focus on the other half of AI interaction. does Heard support different speaking styles depending on the type of project or agent?
Heard
@rivendell_chorro right now you can adjust level of details and when it speaks. is that what you're referring to?
