CodeByEar v0.1.0 — OpenAI Build Week candidate

CodeByEar is a voice-first macOS companion for blind and low-vision people using Codex. The normal route uses macOS VoiceOver for structured output and Voice Control or Dictation for input. OpenAI Realtime is optional.

Install

  1. Download CodeByEar-Mac-app-adhoc.zip and its .sha256 file.
  2. In Terminal, from the download folder, run:
shasum -a 256 -c CodeByEar-Mac-app-adhoc.zip.sha256
  1. Unzip it, move CodeByEar.app to Applications, and open it.
  2. Because this hackathon build is ad-hoc signed rather than notarized, macOS may require Control-clicking the app and choosing Open once. Never disable Gatekeeper globally.
  3. Press Return to start the credential-free safe practice. No GitHub account or Realtime API key is required.

Full non-developer instructions: docs/INSTALL.md.

Verified candidate

  • Original source revision: a47eb93c2f97ec155a89f6f5de36451c7b760edd
  • Public privacy-sanitized revision: 258a61a28db2956d551802b2c02c0f74236dfcb9
  • 276 deterministic tests passed, 0 failed
  • Authenticated GPT-5.6 Codex App Server checks: 3/3 passed
  • Installed-app accessibility and keyboard audit: passed on an unlocked Mac
  • An earlier optional paid Realtime diagnostic candidate returned real audio 1/1 at an estimated API cost of US$0.014964. The exact final candidate was not rerun against paid Realtime; normal use does not require it.

Honest limitations

  • This build is ad-hoc signed, not Developer ID signed or notarized.
  • Automated accessibility inspection verifies labels, roles, focus, target size, keyboard paths, and scripted actions. It does not replace unassisted testing by blind and low-vision participants.
  • VoiceOver and Voice Control permission/password dialogs are owned by macOS.
  • Realtime uses separate OpenAI Platform billing; ChatGPT and Codex credits do not pay it.
