Webear runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 49 installs a week from npm. Last commit 18 Aug 2026.
Give your AI coding assistant ears — capture, analyze, and describe live audio.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Webear every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
