Feature release, MacIntercom v0.1.8-sdr (SDR Squelch)! Mutes the Bluetooth microphone return path and uses WebRTC Voice Activity Detection to squelch the noise floor of an SDR input (e.g., routed via Soundflower). https://github.com/TheButterZone/MacIntercom/releases/tag/v0.1.8-sdr

MacIntercom v0.1.8 released! WebRTC Voice Activity Detection (VAD) integrated https://github.com/TheButterZone/MacIntercom/releases

Where is AI on the sigmoid curve now?

I don't do what I say I do.

I fed my intercom's gate & AGC versions from ChatGPT & Gemini 3.1 Pro extended to Sonnet 5 max effort, because I wasn't fully happy with either of their best efforts after multiple iterations - it think it finally solved my DSP issues for the rest of v0.1.x (& up until I may implement adaptive, like WebRTC VAD, as an option vs the lightweight envelope gate).

Nice, the social media preview works! https://github.com/TheButterZone/MacIntercom/

This is sort of a lifelong dream, to have an intercom without spending a ton on physical hardware that either needs wiring, or is analog or easily-decrypted wireless. Thanks to ChatGPT free version helping me vibe code this, and Dell Rewards getting me a $30 JLab Go Party speaker for only $7.31 shipped... now to see if other people's speakers will work! Eventually the Mac that runs this should be able to act as a multi-remote base station, with the paired speaker as one remote & anyone else remoting over the internet/intranet.

MacIntercom v0.1.0 released! https://github.com/TheButterZone/MacIntercom/releases

v0.1.6 released! I fed the gate & AGC versions from ChatGPT & Gemini 3.1 Pro extended to Sonnet 5 max effort because I wasn't fully happy with either. Then had Gemini review Sonnet's combination & improvement of both: "a solid A+" No waiting for ChatGPT to come back from timeout. I think I agree, and don't want to touch DSP again for the rest of v0.1.x (maybe adaptive DSP like WebRTC VAD will make it into v0.2 as a debugflag toggle, between that & this lightweight envelope gate)? I asked Gemini how much bigger that would make the universal binary: "Adding just the WebRTC VAD (Voice Activity Detection) component will likely add only **50 KB to 150 KB** to your binary, bringing your total universal binary size to roughly **650 KB – 750 KB**.") https://github.com/TheButterZone/MacIntercom/releases

v0.1.4 released! How does it work now? - Media-aware mode (default when running ./macintercom) — intercom automatically yields to media playback. - Standalone mode (run ./macintercom --s) intercom ignores media playback and stays active continuously until Ctrl-C. - Test tone mode (run ./macintercom --t) intercom simultaneously plays 220 Hz tone through computer output & 440 Hz tone through Bluetooth speaker. https://github.com/TheButterZone/MacIntercom/releases

v0.1.3 released! How does it work now? Computer's media app is paused: intercom resumes audio. Computer's media app is playing: intercom pauses audio. Your Bluetooth speaker's multi-function button is pressed, or any other input method (keys, clicks, ...?) for resume/pause: the media app toggles resume/pause, then intercom deconflicts & does the opposite. https://github.com/TheButterZone/MacIntercom/releases
