Talk to your coding agents.

On-device voice-to-text for macOS. Hold right ⌘, speak, release - your words go straight into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode or any other agent, wherever your cursor is.

Install

brew tap satyaborg/blurt
brew install blurt

Or via pipx:

pipx install blurt

Requires macOS with Apple Silicon.

First run downloads the Whisper model (~1.6 GB, one-time). macOS will prompt for Microphone and Accessibility access (System Settings → Privacy & Security).

Usage

Action	Description
Hold right ⌘	Start recording
Release right ⌘	Stop, transcribe, paste at cursor
Ctrl + C	Quit

Custom Words

Teach Blurt words it gets wrong (names, jargon, acronyms):

blurt add "Claude Code"   # add a word
blurt vocab               # list all
blurt rm "Claude Code"    # remove

Words are stored in ~/.blurt/vocab.txt (one per line).

@-mentions

Run Blurt from a git repo and spoken filenames automatically resolve to @path/to/file references that coding agents understand. For example, saying "check init.py for the bug" becomes check @blurt/__init__.py for the bug.

Transcript History

blurt log                 # view recent transcripts

Logs are stored in ~/.blurt/log.txt.
