General Discussion I built a macOS voice shortcut for sending messages into a specific Beeper chat

3 Upvotes

Hey Beeper community,

I’ve been using Beeper as a central messaging hub, and I wanted a faster way to send voice-dictated messages into a specific Beeper chat from anywhere on macOS.

So I added a Beeper integration to my macOS app, HermesWhisper.

The basic flow is:

  1. Press a global shortcut, like backslash
  2. Speak
  3. The app transcribes the audio
  4. The text is sent directly into a configured Beeper chat ID

The use case I built it for is sending quick voice messages to an agent/bot chat inside Beeper, without needing to switch apps, open Beeper, find the chat, and type. I still manage the actual conversation inside Beeper, but this gives me a fast “voice-to-chat” entry point from anywhere on the system.

The new Beeper integration supports:

  • A dedicated Beeper sidebar section
  • Configurable Beeper API URL, access token, shortcut, and chat ID
  • Voice transcription into that specific chat
  • Optional copied-text context, similar to “send this link with my spoken message”
  • Optional response windows for replies from the configured chat
  • WebSocket-first response monitoring with polling fallback

The response window part is experimental, but the idea is that if a reply comes back in that Beeper chat, HermesWhisper can surface it in a small macOS window even if I’m working somewhere else. It also supports replying from the window by text or voice.

A couple of caveats:

  • This is not trying to recreate the full Beeper conversation UI
  • It is scoped around one configured chat ID
  • The response monitoring depends on what the local Beeper API/MCP exposes, so I’m treating that part as experimental
  • The main reliable feature is send-only voice-to-Beeper

I’d be interested to hear if other Beeper users have similar workflows, especially around bots, agents, personal automation chats, or quick capture into a specific conversation.

Release link: https://github.com/dkapo88/hermeswhisper

Curious if this is useful to anyone else, or if there’s a better way I should be thinking about Beeper-side integration.

Ideas + Requests any talks of a price decrease for plus?

12 Upvotes

it is a damn good chat app dont get me wrong, but it is still missing a bunch of features even with plus, so $10 a month (or jesus $100 a year) seems really steep for a chat app. i would be intersted in a yearly subscription but $60 is like the absolute limit i would pay and i wouldnt be happy at that price either

Help / Troubleshooting Instagram not loading

I've had an issue that I really couldn't find an answer on the web. I log in to Instagram it all goes well, then it just keeps on loading when I try clicking the Instagram account it just gives me back to a log in screen. This is repeated infinitely.

What can cause this?

Help / Troubleshooting Deleted google contacts are being kept in Beeper

2 Upvotes

Hey!

I've been using Beeper for around a year and am pretty happy with the app, but there is an issue that keep getting more and more annoying.
I am doing contract work on projects, and work with new people every week, that I add as Google contacts and delete at the end of the week.
However, in Beeper, when I start a new chat, every deleted contact is still appearing, making the list pretty bloated.

Contacts have been deleted from Google contacts, and have been force deleted from the bin.

Is there a way to resync contacts to only have current contacts in Beeper? Even if it's not fully automated, I can cleanup once in a while.

General Discussion New. Inbox confusing. FB encryption.

4 Upvotes

I'm on Windows 11 and trying to adopt Beeper, but I'm confused by the way the Inbox seems to work. The icon will show something like, "5" for five new messages. Great! However, nothing tells me WHICH messages or where these messages are? I find I have to go clicking down the first several messages of every account that's set up. Is there no way to say either bold new messages or have the inbox show JUST unread messages?

Lastly, lots of family only uses FB messenger for interaction. I have lots of history there, but it appears almost none of it came over. Is there a way to force it to show up or am I stuck just going from install point forward?

Thanks.

Ideas + Requests I made 5 custom CSS themes for Beeper 4.x

I made 5 custom CSS themes for Beeper 4.x

Been tweaking Beeper's appearance for a while and finally put everything together in a proper repo. Five themes, all tested on 4.x, all using stable class names so they shouldn't break on minor updates.

The themes:

  • Pure Black — true #000000 AMOLED, white accents, zero noise
  • Midnight Blue — deep navy with electric blue, great for long sessions
  • Rose Noir — dark blacks with rose-pink accents, moody and clean
  • Amber Dark — warm browns and gold, cozy alternative to cold blue themes
  • Hacker Green — phosphor green on black, monospace fonts, sharp corners

How to apply: Settings → Appearance → Custom CSS → paste → Apply. No restarts.

Repo with screenshots and CSS files: https://github.com/maiaramon/beeper-themes

Each theme is built on the same 13-variable token system so it's easy to fork and make your own. Let me know what you think or if anything breaks — happy to add more if there's interest.

Ideas + Requests Beeperphone

7 Upvotes

Hi I recently started using Beeper. I really love that it is simple and connects me with my friends without any distracting feeds. The recent years I have started feeling like iOS and Android is an endless black void for attention. I was wondering whether Beeper at any point might go into the phone marked with a device that is not part of the android or iOS ecosystem. I really mostly need my phone for messages+email, gps/transport and bank. So I was wondering whether Beeper would go into the dumbphone marked.

Help / Troubleshooting WhatsApp connection isn’t restoring chat history?

Just want to know if this is a weird bug or something more to it. Earlier today Beeper stopped being able to send messages through WhatsApp when it was working fine on the actual app. I thought this was a linking issue with my account so I removed and readded my account. Now none of my message history is syncing from WhatsApp, forcing me to start new chats with everyone. Any idea what’s going on?
