EyesAndEars

Windows desktop capture assistant with local setup UI, tray control, and release packaging.

Public repo scope

This repository contains the open-source desktop app and packaging scripts only.

The website, admin panel, checkout flow, and licensing backend are kept private and are not part of this public repo.

Run locally

Use:

• run-local.cmd

Or manually:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
python "eyesandears.py"

Server URL is currently hardcoded in eyesandears.py:

• HARDCODED_SERVER_URL = "http://localhost:8000"
• Update this constant directly before release/deployment so the desktop app points at your private backend.

On each launch, the app prompts for:

• Use Your Own API Key
• Subscription Code (Coming Soon) (publicly locked for now)

The app stores code/API key with DPAPI on Windows (fallback plaintext only on non-Windows).

Hotkeys

• Numpad 1: Capture / Pause / Resume typing output
• Numpad 0: Toggle indicator visibility
• Numpad 2: Clear pending answer
• Numpad 3: Paste remaining answer instantly
• Numpad 4: Reload last answer
• Numpad 9: Quit (and winget self-uninstall trigger when applicable)
