Hands-Free Claude Code

voice ai python macos

Voice-first interface for Claude Code with a floating HUD, VAD-only capture, local STT, and spoken replies. One CLI boots everything; preferences from a single config file.

Hands-free loop: VAD capture → faster-whisper STT → Claude Code (streaming) → HUD → TTS → back to listening.
Floating HUD (CustomTkinter) with mic mute and screenshot toggles, plus optional typed input.
Config-only setup: single config.toml drives all behavior; state files live under platformdirs directory.
WebRTC VAD-gated capture with optional guided calibration and sensitivity slider.
Kokoro ONNX TTS for high-quality spoken responses or macOS 'say' fallback.
Optional per-turn screenshots saved and attached for visual context.
