Desktop Announcer

Your desktop has a voice now, and opinions.

Kiki speaks build status, notifications, and reminders — locally, with a personality you can tune.

Why Kiki

For developers who want a desktop that talks back — and don't want to send audio to a hosted TTS service to get there.

Local TTS, no cloud

Kitten and Kokoro TTS run on your machine. Your voice lines never leave the box. No API keys, no usage caps.

Personality packs

Pick a voice, drop in a personality prompt, and Kiki rewrites the announcement lines to match. Build-failed doesn't have to sound the same for everyone.

Classified notifications

Reads D-Bus notifications, classifies them, and speaks the right line for the category. Calendar, CI, containers, build, and more.

Install Kiki

Open-source. Drop the binary, write a personality, and your desktop will talk back.
