I vibe-code with agents a lot and got tired of glancing back at the chat every time a long reply finished. So I made Aftertone: after each agent response, a local Supertonic ONNX voice reads a short line (what landed, blockers, next step) — not the whole wall of text.

What it is

• Runs on your machine (~/aftertone), MIT, no TTS subscription
• Cursor and Claude Code work today (Codex / OpenCode on the roadmap)
• Per-chat on/off (/aftertone-on in Cursor, /aftertone_on in Claude)
• Agents use a <spoken_summary> tag at the end of replies; if there is no tag, it stays quiet (tag-only mode by default)

Install (Linux/macOS):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/omarelkhal/aftertone/main/scripts/install.sh | bash -s -- --install-uv --start-daemon

Then in Cursor: Hooks on + trusted workspace. In Claude: /aftertone_on in the chats where you want audio.

Happy to answer setup questions. If you try it, I would love to know whether the spoken summaries actually help your flow or feel like noise.
