I built Arty: https://github.com/vibemachine-labs/arty

It's an open-source iOS voice agent that uses the OpenAI Realtime API (bring your own key).

Current connectors: Hacker News (check demo in readme!), Google Drive, GitHub, and web search.

I got frustrated with the limitations of the OpenAI Realtime Voice iOS app—for example, it can't even connect to Google Drive.

Arty is self-contained except for the OpenAI model and any third-party services you connect to. Uses local tools—no MCP support yet.

If you'd like additional connectors, feel free to open an issue.
