Claude Code is fast until you have to explain something long: what the bug looks like, which file, what you tried. People speak at about 160 words a minute and type at about 40, so the explaining is the slow part. Blurty makes it the fast part.
How it works
- Hold a key, talk, let go. Your words land wherever your cursor is: a Terminal running
claude, the Claude app, VS Code, anywhere you can type. - Prompt mode turns rambling into a request. Filler words go, the point comes first, the details become a short list, and file and function names you said get
backticks. It never answers your question or adds anything you didn't say. - The Chats panel keeps up to three Claude Code and Codex chats at the edge of your screen. Hold the key over a chat and talk to it, read its reply, answer its questions and allow its permissions by voice, and drop in screenshots and files.
- Show & tell: point at the button or the bit of your app you mean while you talk, and Claude gets your words plus exactly what you pointed at.
Why not the Mac's built-in dictation?
It types what you said, word for word, including the "um, so basically". Blurty cleans it as you go, knows the names in your project (add them to its Dictionary once), and has a mode made for prompting. And it runs on your Mac: nothing you say is uploaded or stored.
Set it up in a minute
Download Blurty, open it, and give it the microphone and Accessibility permissions it asks for. Open Terminal, run claude, hold the key and say what you want. For the panel, click the Claude tab at the edge of your screen and pick a chat.
