ONE LANE PER TASK — NINE ON THE PAD, TWELVE ON THE MICRO DECK.
Choose a task. See where it left off. Hold to speak when you’re ready to move it forward.
Your message goes to the task you selected, and its reply comes back here. Switch keys to pick up another conversation.
Explore the Deck · Select a channel to see its conversation. Example tasks shown.
Pick up where you left off.The selected task’s latest reply is right in front of you.
Talk to the right task.Each key keeps its assignment until you change it.
Room for more.Micro Deck offers twelve task keys plus playback controls.
A task needs your direction. Choose its channel, hold the speak bar, and tell it what to do next. Release to send your words to that same Codex conversation—without reaching for the keyboard.
FOR EXAMPLE“Make the sidebar warmer, then show me the updated preview.”
The selected channel is where your message will go.
Keep the bar pressed while you speak. Your Mac turns your voice into text.
Let go to send. The task’s reply comes back to its channel, ready to read or hear.
Voice input works in the connected app. The preview above uses example conversations.
Narration volume. Press it to pause playback; the task keeps running.
Status voice for binds, confirmations, and errors. Playback goes to your speakers or headphones.
Bridge, mic, and queue depth. If the bridge LED is dark, the Mac isn't connected and sends won't go through.
One exact Codex task each, with its project, branch, last exchange, and state.
REPLAY the last answer, STOP narration, AUTO-narrate completions, ACTIVITY inbox.
Momentary button, on-device Parakeet ASR. Releasing it sends the transcript once, to the bound task.
Dictation and narration both attach to the same Codex task, so there's no second conversation to merge back in later.
Your dictation and Codex's reply stay in the same task. SpeakEasy handles voice and playback; it doesn't run a conversation of its own.
Sends are addressed by exact task ID, not by title, recency, folder, or window focus. If the binding can't be verified, the send stops.
The queue is on disk, so it survives a relaunch. What you said arrives once, in order, even if the iPad slept in between.
Scrub the reply, change the speed, replay the last exchange with RPLY, or turn on AUTO to have completions narrated as tasks finish. The full text is still in Codex; this is for when you'd rather listen than read.
SCRUB · 0.5–2× SPEED · VOLUME ON THE ENCODER · DURABLE QUEUE

THE PAD is an iPadOS app, and it does not work alone. It needs SpeakEasy and Codex Desktop running on an Apple silicon Mac. That Mac holds the Parakeet model, the narration voices, and the bridge the nine lanes bind to.
Put both on the same Wi-Fi and choose your Mac in the app. Complete the connection and permission steps shown in Settings → Deck.
INTEGRATION BOUNDARY — THE CODEX BRIDGE USES PRIVATE, VERSION-CHECKED CODEX DESKTOP IPC AND FAILS CLOSED ON INCOMPATIBILITY. IT IS NOT PRESENTED AS A SUPPORTED PUBLIC CODEX API. SPEECH IS TRANSCRIBED BY THE PAIRED MAC; NO ARACH SPEECH SERVER SITS IN THE PATH.
