Blurt 1.0.13: your iPhone as a trackpad, keyboard and microphone for the Mac

Download

  • Mac: Blurt-1.0.13.dmg (macOS 13 or later, signed and notarized). Already on 1.0.x: Check for Updates… in the menu.
  • Windows and Ubuntu: nothing new for them in this release. Their 1.0.13 builds are in 1.0.13 alpha 1; Windows 1.0.12 is here.

New: Blurt for iPhone — Settings → iPhone

  • For when you sit back from a big screen: the iPhone is the trackpad, the keys and the microphone, and your eyes stay on the Mac. Hold the talk key to dictate through the phone's mic, the same as the dictation key.
  • Two fingers scroll whatever is under the pointer, both ways. A full keyboard and your own shortcut keys, in portrait and landscape. Optionally the Mac's screen on the phone, to tap where you look.
  • Pairing: scan the QR code in Settings → iPhone, then allow it on the Mac. Both show the same six digits; allow only if they match. Nothing listens on the network until you pair a phone.
  • On the same Wi-Fi it connects directly. Away from home it goes through a relay you run yourself (Settings → iPhone → Set Up a Relay gives instructions for Claude Code or Codex). Blurt runs no server for anyone.
  • The iPhone app isn't on the App Store yet. Build it onto your iPhone with Xcode: apps/ios.

Also new on the Mac (first in the 1.0.13 alpha)

  • History: Don't keep — Settings → Dictation → History (#36). The text is typed and nothing is saved. A take that couldn't be recognized keeps only its recording for a day, so Retry still works.
  • Show the notch when idle — Settings → General (#35). Off: on screens without a notch, the drawn notch is gone until you point at the top center. Recording, dictation and voice notes still show.
  • Show in menu bar — Settings → General (#32). Hidden, open Blurt from Spotlight or Finder for its window and Settings.

Fixed

  • ⇧ works again while you dictate: your input method's Chinese/English and full/half-width switch is no longer blocked.
  • Remote-control apps (UU Remote and the like): ⌥ sent from the remote keyboard starts dictation (#39). Use "Either ⌥" as the key.

口喷鸡 1.0.13:用 iPhone 当 Mac 的触控板、键盘和麦克风

下载

  • Mac: Blurt-1.0.13.dmg(macOS 13 及以上,已签名并通过 Apple 公证)。已经装了 1.0.x:在菜单里点「检查更新…」。
  • Windows 和 Ubuntu: 这一版没有新内容。它们的 1.0.13 在 1.0.13 alpha 1;Windows 1.0.12 在这里。

新增:iPhone 版口喷鸡:设置 → iPhone

  • 适合离大屏幕远一点坐着用:iPhone 当触控板、按键和麦克风,眼睛一直看着 Mac。按住说话键,用手机的麦克风听写,和听写键一样。
  • 两指滚动指针下面的内容,上下左右都行。完整键盘和自己的快捷键,竖屏横屏都能用。可以在手机上显示 Mac 的屏幕,看哪里点哪里。
  • 配对:在「设置 → iPhone」扫二维码,然后在 Mac 上允许。两边会显示同样的六位数字,一致才允许。配对手机之前,口喷鸡不会在网络上监听。
  • 同一个 Wi-Fi 下直连。不在家时经过你自己搭的中转(「设置 → iPhone → 搭建中转」里有给 Claude Code 或 Codex 的说明)。口喷鸡不替任何人运行服务器。
  • iPhone 版还没上架 App Store,可以用 Xcode 自己装到 iPhone 上:apps/ios。

Mac 上的其他新功能(在 1.0.13 alpha 中首次提供)

  • 历史记录:不保存:设置 → 听写 → 历史(#36)。文字输入后不留记录。识别失败的那条只把录音留一天,方便重试。
  • 空闲时显示刘海:设置 → 通用(#35)。关闭后,没有刘海的屏幕上不再画出刘海,鼠标移到屏幕顶部中间才出现。录屏、听写、语音便签时照常显示。
  • 在菜单栏显示:设置 → 通用(#32)。隐藏后,从「聚焦搜索」或「访达」再次打开口喷鸡,即可打开主窗口和设置。

修复

  • 听写时 ⇧ 不再被拦下:输入法的中英文、全半角切换照常可用。
  • UU 远程等远程控制软件:远程键盘发来的 ⌥ 能开始听写(#39)。快捷键请选「任一 ⌥」。
