Hear it talk back.
Hands-free.
Full voice mode for Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, and Pi — running entirely on your Mac.

Spoken replies reach beyond Claude Code and Codex to the Antigravity CLI and Pi. Pick your agent in the Setup card and Auto-Apply wires up a speak tool — so speech can start mid-turn instead of waiting for the whole reply. Add a voice persona and each accent brings its own character; still 100% local, on the Apple Neural Engine.
Start with a word and your hands never leave the keyboard — or leave it entirely. Three seconds of silence submits; say "hold on" to cut in while it's speaking. Prefer keys? Press-to-Talk and Hold-to-Talk are one shortcut away.
Open Whisperer is a free, open-source, fully local voice mode for macOS — speech-to-text dictation and streaming text-to-speech for Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Pi, and any app on Apple Silicon, with nothing sent to the cloud.
Press-to-Talk, Hold-to-Talk, or fully Hands-Free. Say "initiate" to start, silence auto-submits, "hold on" interrupts.
WhisperKit for speech-to-text, Kokoro for text-to-speech — both in-process on the Apple Neural Engine. No cloud APIs, no data leaves your Mac. Ever.
Responses begin speaking after the first sentence instead of the whole reply — with automatic fallback if anything's unavailable.
Pick your agent in the Setup card, hit Auto-Apply, and a speak tool is wired up. Auto-Focus brings your editor forward, Auto-Submit hits Enter for you. Just talk.
Whisper understands English, Dutch, French, German, Japanese and 12 more. Pick from 11 Kokoro voices across 8 languages — each accent a voice persona that colors the reply's tone.
A floating window with a real-time waveform, recording status, and your recent transcriptions. Always visible, never in the way.
Download the DMG, drag to Applications. Fully native — no Python. On first launch it downloads the Whisper and Kokoro models and runs them on the Apple Neural Engine.
Hold Ctrl and speak. Your words are transcribed locally and typed straight into Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, or Pi.
Every reply is spoken aloud — now streaming, so it starts talking back on the very first sentence.
Yes. Open Whisperer is free and open source under the MIT license — no subscriptions, no accounts, no API keys.
No. Speech-to-text (WhisperKit) and text-to-speech (Kokoro) both run locally on your Mac. There are no cloud APIs and nothing leaves your machine.
Spoken replies work with Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, and Pi — pick your agent in the Setup card and Auto-Apply wires up a speak tool (a drop-in extension for Pi) so every response is read aloud. Dictation works with all your apps: your voice types into any macOS app.
An Apple Silicon Mac (M-series) running macOS. It's fully native — no Python. On first launch it downloads the on-device Whisper and Kokoro models and runs them in-process on the Apple Neural Engine.
Three ways: Press-to-Talk, Hold-to-Talk, or fully hands-free — say "initiate" to start, stay silent to submit, and say "hold on" to interrupt.
Two more agents: spoken replies now work in Antigravity and Pi alongside Claude Code and Codex. Voice personas give each accent its own character, replies can start mid-turn through an in-app speak tool, a Speed slider sets how fast replies are spoken, and the floating overlay is now resizable. Still fully native and 100% local.
Since we don't pay Apple $99/year for signing, you need to allow the app to run after installing:
xattr -cr /Applications/Open\ Whisperer.appOr clear quarantine on the DMG before opening it:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads/OpenWhisperer-1.6.0.dmg
