Copy text.
Hear it spoken.

Voice selection
Hear any text, your way
Cloud or local TTS, Claude Code integration, searchable history, global hotkeys — all from the menu bar.
Two TTS engines
ElevenLabs for premium cloud voices with speed and stability controls, or Kokoro for fully local CoreML speech with 50+ voices — no internet needed after a one-time ~99 MB download.
Lives in the menu bar
A native macOS menu bar app — no Dock icon, no windows to manage. Always one click or hotkey away.
Floating playback overlay
A draggable controls-only overlay with play/pause, skip, speed controls, and a seekable progress bar. Choose Classic, Mini, or no overlay.
Global hotkeys
Seven configurable shortcuts — read clipboard, pause/resume, toggle auto-play, skip forward/backward, and sentence navigation — all usable from any app.
Secure by default
API keys stored in macOS Keychain. Kokoro runs entirely on-device — your text never leaves your machine.
Auto-play clipboard
Enable auto-play and SuperUtter reads text aloud the moment you copy it — no hotkey needed. Toggle on or off with ⌃⌥A.
Claude Code integration
A one-line Stop hook pipes Claude Code's assistant replies into SuperUtter via a superutter:// URL scheme. Markdown is stripped, new responses queue — no interruption mid-sentence.
Playback history
Every utterance — clipboard reads and Claude Code responses — is saved to disk. Search, expand to full text, replay, copy, or delete anything from the History tab.
