Runner Agent.
A local voice companion.
Tap the orb, speak, and get a spoken answer back through a fully local voice loop. The preview runs mic capture, VAD, speech-to-text, a compact on-device language model, and Supertonic text-to-speech on Apple Silicon.

Runner is an app shell over the Soniqo speech engines, not a cloud client. First run downloads the speech models; after preload the current desktop path is tuned around a compact unified-memory budget.
Notarized macOS artifact.
This is the same Runner DMG produced by the release pipeline: signed with Developer ID, notarized by Apple, stapled, and verified with Gatekeeper.
macOS may ask for microphone permission on first launch. The speech models are downloaded after the app starts; keep the first run online until the loading state completes.
Studio creates voices. Runner talks with them.
Speech Studio and Runner are two faces of the same local speech stack: one for voice production, one for live voice-agent interaction.
