## What is VBCC?

VBCC - VibeCoding Controller, instantly turns your iPhone into a powerful voice input peripheral and shortcut dashboard for your Mac.

Securely pair via local network (Bonjour/AWDL) to instantly send mobile voice transcriptions, custom texts, and complex shortcut combinations directly to the target window on your Mac.

【Core Use Cases】

Instant Inspiration: Speak up, and your voice is transcribed to text in real time, sent directly to your Mac's editor or input field. Appending newlines is effortless.

Blind-Touch Efficiency: Customize L/R common keys, arrow keys, or complex combos. Your phone becomes a physical macro keypad.

Heavy Text Flow: Frequently used Prompts, code snippets, or commands are sent with one tap, eliminating meaningless, repetitive copy-pasting.

【Key Features】

Zero-Latency LAN: Automatically discovers devices via Bonjour with smart reconnection support; Peer-to-Peer (AWDL) connection can be enabled for complex network environments.

Smart Voice ASR: Uses system-native voice recognition by default (completely free, multi-language supported); also supports configuring third-party cloud ASR for advanced needs.

Voice Hotwords: Mark product names, personal names, or technical jargon to dramatically improve the transcription accuracy of specialized terms.

iCloud Cross-Device Sync: Message history, hotword lists, and custom shortcut commands sync automatically, making device upgrades seamless.

Pure & Privacy-First: No registration required, zero ads. All pairing credentials and API Keys are securely stored locally or in your personal private iCloud space. The developer has no access to your data.

【Before You Use】
This app must be used in conjunction with the VBCC Mac desktop app. Please ensure your iPhone and Mac are on the same local network, and grant the necessary "Local Network" and "Accessibility" permissions to the apps.
