Luke

Luke is an open-source Mac app for planning features out loud before coding agents build them.

Luke provides a better way to plan with AI coding agents by letting you talk through a feature out loud. While you speak, the application reads your code and translates your discussion into a structured plan. You can then copy and paste this plan directly into tools like Claude Code or Codex. Designed specifically for macOS, the software runs locally on Apple silicon. It helps developers organize their thoughts and specify requirements clearly before letting an automated agent write code.
