Product Positioning & Context
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.

Community Voice & Feedback
Love the idea of replacing terminal watching with listening. does Heard keep historical voice summaries for later review? or is the experience designed to be entirely live?
Congrats! what inspired you to focus on spoken summaries instead of visual dashboards?was there a specific pain point that pushed you in this direction?
Congratulations on shipping!The idea of each agent having its own voice is clever.can users assign custom voices to different agents?seems like that would make them easier to distinguish.
Congratulations on the launch! 🚀Really curious about the technical side. how much system overhead does Heard add while monitoring multiple agents? is performance impacted much?
how does Heard avoid interrupting users with unnecessary voice updates? can notification frequency be configured?
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?
congratulations! can i respond entirely by voice while away from my desk? or do some actions still require opening the desktop app?
Congrats on the launch! How are you guys attributing events to the right agent when they're separate processes, parsing stdout or tapping the hooks Claude Code and Codex expose?
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?
Hey PH, Kelly here, maker and founder of Heard.
The last two years went into making it easier to talk to agents. Voice input, better prompts, better context. Nobody worked on the other half. Agents still answer in scrolling text you have to sit and watch.
Heard is that half. It listens to your Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor sessions, understands what matters in context, and turns the useful parts into concise, natural speech. A useful update, not a transcript.
It matters most once you're running more than one agent. Parallelism is free now, attention isn't, and every agent you add makes the terminal a worse instrument for keeping up. So each agent gets its own voice, and a swarm gets summarized at the project level. One clear story instead of five windows you can't watch at once.
With Heard Power you can pair your phone and keep the session going from the kitchen, a walk, anywhere you're not at the desk. Hear what's happening, answer by voice, approve the next step in one tap.
