Claude Code Tools Files

voice-type is now voxtype — its own standalone package 🎙️

Local voice dictation has moved out of the suite into its own PyPI package, voxtype. You can now install just voice dictation, without the rest of claude-code-tools:

:::bash
uv tool install voxtype   # macOS only (Intel + Apple Silicon)
voxtype setup             # interactive config wizard
voxtype                   # start dictating

One command picks the best engine for your machine — Apple-GPU parakeet-mlx on Apple Silicon, CPU parakeet on Intel — and makes it the default, so no flags are needed.

⚠️ Breaking change for existing voice users

The claude-code-tools[voice] / [voice-parakeet] / [voice-mlx] extras and the voice-type command have been removed. Migrate with:

:::bash
uv tool install voxtype

Your existing ~/.config/voice-type/config.toml and downloaded models in ~/.cache/voice-type are still used automatically, so your setup carries over untouched.

Also in this release

• Parakeet by default; moonshine is now the opt-in voxtype[moonshine] extra (it has no Intel-macOS build).
• Fixed an intermittent dead-hotkey race with the recording overlay — the keyboard tap is now installed after the GUI event loop is up, so it can't be silently killed.
• Startup feedback: a live spinner while the model loads onto the GPU, plus a byte-level progress bar for first-run model downloads.
• macOS-only, stated plainly — not supported on Linux/Windows (the hotkey can't be suppressed and there's no overlay there).
• Repo hygiene: stopped tracking generated docs-site/.astro cache and a stray local node_modules symlink.

The rest of the suite (aichat, tmux-cli, msg, gdocs, …) is unchanged.

voxtype is published to PyPI separately, starting at v0.1.0.
