Heard gives AI coding agents local voices

Heard solves the "staring at the terminal" fatigue by turning silent agent logs into interactive audio experiences. Its local-first architecture using Kokoro ensures zero latency and absolute privacy for sensitive codebases. Multi-agent awareness prevents audio collisions when running concurrent background tasks. Built-in personas (Aria, Jarvis) and customizable Markdown-based templates allow for tailored developer experiences. First-class support for Claude Code and Codex makes it an immediate utility for early adopters of terminal-based agents. The Apache 2.0 license and absence of telemetry align perfectly with the "LocalLLaMA" ethos of sovereignty.
