New Accessible TeamTalk Client for Mac – Looking for Beta Testers

Hello everyone,

I've developed a native TeamTalk client for macOS that's fully accessible with VoiceOver. As you know, the official TeamTalk version on Mac is completely inaccessible, so I built an alternative from scratch.

What's included:

  • Full keyboard navigation — Cmd+1/2/3/4 for UI areas, F5 for nickname, F6 for status, etc.
  • VoiceOver announcements for all events (users joining/leaving, private messages, file transfers)
  • Native macOS interface (no ugly web wrapper)
  • Saved server management with quick access
  • Browse and join channels with optional password protection
  • Private messaging with full conversation history
  • File sharing with visual progress indicators
  • User administration (for server admins)
  • Advanced microphone settings:
    • Enable/disable audio processing
    • Noise suppression (Noise Gate) or Expander with fine-tuned controls over threshold, attack, hold, and release
    • Peak limiter with auto or manual mode
    • Multiple presets for different use cases
    • Professional-grade tools to eliminate feedback and control voice peaks

Current state:

The app is functional and ready to use. The interface is clean, accessible and looks good — because using VoiceOver doesn't mean the UI has to be ugly.

Important:

The app is unsigned (no budget for Apple Developer Program yet). You'll need to authorize it in macOS security settings.

Interested?

If anyone wants to test, I can set up a beta distribution system. Your feedback on features, keyboard shortcuts, or missing functionality is welcome!
