macvoice Open-Sourced: Enabling MacBook-Native Real-Time Voice Interaction for Claude Code

Developer John Robinson has open-sourced macvoice, a project that brings full-duplex real-time voice interaction natively to Claude Code on MacBooks via the ACP protocol. The solution runs locally without PyTorch or cloud-based voice services, consumes roughly 1.4 GB of RAM, and fully supports voice interruptions, verbal confirmation of terminal execution permissions, and audio cues during thinking states. Built with MLX and macOS-native audio interfaces, the project is also compatible with any coding agent that supports the ACP protocol.
