Blot is a self-assembly desk kit that claims to let you use voice commands to type, open Mac apps, and click named controls, while its screen shows progress.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-13 issue.

For: Mac users who want voice control for desktop tasks
Worth noticing: The 1.75-inch AMOLED board combines the processor, microphone, and speaker; the body's flat foot routes the USB-C cable.

Field notes

Assembly is described in three moves: thread the USB-C cable through the body, seat the board, then twist on the faceplate. The round 1.75-inch AMOLED board houses the processor, microphone, and speaker; the printed body is about 8 cm across. The page says the companion app runs on macOS and keeps audio and transcripts on the Mac, while giving no price or ship date.
