Developer at desk with IDE open, using voice commands to dictate code comments and documentation hands-free while maintaining focus on coding

Voice Assistant for Coding Windows

Flunkey is a free desktop voice assistant for coding and development workflows on Windows. It enhances coder efficiency by letting you dictate inline comments or commit messages directly into your IDE (F8) and run floating AI queries for syntax or debugging help (F9) in real-time.

Core Workflows

Dictate inline comments and code documentation hands-free

Focus on your logic and code structure while dictating inline docs, docstrings, or JSDoc comments directly into VS Code, Visual Studio, or JetBrains IDEs using F8.

Query floating AI for syntax or debugging help

Stuck on a syntax bug? Hold F9, ask for solutions, and watch the AI overlay stream code examples right next to your active window without breaking your focus.

Draft git commit messages and developer notes

Speak your git commits. Dictate quick developer logs or task updates straight into your git client or command line terminal.

How Flunkey works

[01]Open Flunkey and focus your cursor inside your IDE or command line terminal.
[02]Hold F8 to dictate your comments or commit summaries. The text is transcribed and pasted instantly.
[03]Hold F9 to ask the AI coding assistant for syntax or debug help, streaming code directly to the overlay.

Local-First & Privacy Architecture

Developers care about performance and privacy. Flunkey is built with Tauri (Rust), keeping resource footprints low (under 50MB RAM) and storing history completely offline.

Streamline your daily desktop tasks

Install Flunkey, enter your Groq key, and dictate or query instantly using F8 and F9.

Speech transcription is optimized for natural language. While you can dictate code comments, documentation, and outlines, it is not recommended for typing raw programming syntax.

Yes. All transcripts, preferences, and session histories are stored locally on your device in the Windows AppData directory, keeping your proprietary code safe.

Yes. In the application settings, you can choose from the available Groq chat completion models (such as Llama 3) to configure your preferred coding model.
