Give Claude Code and Codex a voice

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.
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?
Congratulations on the launch!
The voice first experience sounds interesting. can Heard recognise when multiple agents are working on the same task? how are overlapping updates handled?
Heard
@carter_garcia thanks! attribution comes from the folder path and context building over time - Heard reads where each agent is working and maps it to a feature or directory. so "same task" becomes concrete: agents in the same folder are treated as working the same area, and it can roll their updates together instead of narrating each thread on its own.
overlap is handled at the speaking layer. updates queue rather than colliding, so you get them one at a time with the voice telling you which agent each came from - no two things talking at once. and when several are churning in the same feature, you hear a rolled-up "where this area stands" rather than a play-by-play from each.
curious does your same-task setup mean agents in one folder, or spread across different parts of the repo?
congratulations! can i respond entirely by voice while away from my desk? or do some actions still require opening the desktop app?
Heard
@dylan_russell yes you can! you can only do that in Heard Power right now: https://heard.dev/power code: friendsofheard
you can be completely hands off, the desktop app is only for viewing and settings
Congratulations! this feels like a productivity upgrade rather than just another AI wrapper. how does Heard handle long running coding sessions? does the quality of summaries improve over time?
Heard
@vespertine_dallarosa in long sessions it can give you summaries continuously or only when needed depending on your settings!
