Dialogues with a voice
Damu comes to you with a speech bubble and a matching voice clip, then waits for you to press OK. You write the text and bring the audio, in any language.
Free · Open source · Windows & macOS
Meet Damu.
Your desktop's favourite visitor.
Every so often Damu strolls onto your screen, tells you something in his own voice, and waits for you to say OK. Then he cheers or dashes off. Click him, drag him, double-click him: he has an opinion about all of it.

First-run notice
The installer isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC". Click More info, then Run anyway.
macOS
macOS 10.15 or newer · Apple Silicon & Intel
First-run notice
The app isn't signed with an Apple certificate yet. Drag Damu to Applications, then right-click it and choose Open (once). If macOS says it's "damaged", run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Damu.app in Terminal.
The macOS build is new, so please tell us if anything misbehaves. All versions are on the releases page.
Questions
Good to know
Is Damu really free?
Yes, completely. It's open source under the MIT License.
Does Damu collect any data?
No. There are no accounts, no analytics and no network connections. The only thing saved is your preferences, in a small file on your computer.
Will he get in the way of my work?
No. Damu floats above your windows, but clicks pass straight through everywhere except on Damu himself. You can switch him off in Settings, and he walks off the screen.
Can I use my own dialogues and voice?
Yes. All of Damu's text and audio live in one file, assets/content.json. Add your lines and clips (.wav or .mp3), and the speech bubble supports Malayalam and other scripts. See the guide on GitHub.
