Ghostlah

Your Mac voice, wearing a costume. Local, open source, and usable in any app that lets you choose a microphone.

ghostlah                 # adaptive menu
ghostlah boo             # pick a mic + vibe
ghostlah yay funny       # appear — or flip while live
ghostlah nay             # disappear
ghostlah huh             # quick replay
ghostlah mhh             # deeper sound check
ghostlah sup             # what is happening?

Vibes: serious · deep · funny · spooky · robot · radio

Run ghostlah yay deep again whenever you want Deep to roll a fresh mask.

First time: run ghostlah setup. Apps using their default microphone follow Ghostlah automatically. If one was pinned to another mic, switch it to Default once.

Your headphones are never changed. Ghostlah keeps listening to the mic you picked even when another audio device connects; nay restores the mic that was selected before you appeared.

To put a checkout on your path:

ln -s "$PWD/ghostlah" ~/.local/bin/ghostlah

Voice effects can make you sound different; they do not guarantee anonymity.
