Open a third coding agent and your screen runs out of room. That’s the problem Heard, a free macOS app, is built for. It listens to your Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor sessions and turns the scroll into spoken summaries, so you hear where the work stands instead of squinting at five terminals talking over each other.
What it actually does
Heard summarizes at the project level, not line by line. Instead of reading every log, you get “auth refactor passed tests, waiting on your approval.” Hard signals — permission prompts, failed tool calls, a run finishing — always cut through. A verbosity dial runs from full play-by-play down to errors-only, so it can be a chatty narrator or a silent watchdog that only speaks when something breaks.
Why it’s worth a look
The clever part is context. It doesn’t read text aloud like a screen reader; it decides what matters and says only that. Pair your phone and it’s a walkie-talkie for your agents — hear progress and talk back from anywhere. It’s open source and free for personal use, which lowers the bar to just trying it.
