ChloeVibes

Audio-reactive haptics for Windows and Android

System audio → calibrated force in real time. One signal engine, two clients, parity-locked in CI — not a slider toy bolted onto a BLE chat.

Version	v1.5.0
Clients	Windows (Rust · egui) · Android (Kotlin · Compose)
Devices	Lovense BLE · Buttplug / Intiface (desktop)
Sister app	ChloeVR — XR cinema + stage (shares this engine’s beat DNA)
Author	Ash Airfoil

Play music. ChloeVibes listens to the system mix, finds the punch (kick, hat, pad…), and drives a haptic device with a musical envelope — not a raw loudness follower unless you ask for one.

Default path = Bass Drum boom: instant peak, long musical decay, near-zero floor. Press FIND BOOM once to auto-tune band / gate / trigger / envelope to whatever is playing.

Safety. This commands a physical device on a body. Desktop has a dead-man watchdog, panic-stop, and verified stop-all. Android does not yet have a watchdog. You own the ceiling. Red Stop all devices is always the right move.

Screenshots (app UI only)

Docs show the console UI only — no device photography, no adult media. The product is adult haptic software; the surfaces below are pro-audio style controls.

Desktop console — output level and envelope tracking live system audio (Advanced FFT + ADSR).

Windows — transport, gate, spectrum, envelope, presets, device panel.

    
Android — signal chain (left) and optional Climax engine (right).

Install (prebuilt)

1. Open the latest release
2. Download:
   • Windows: ChloeVibes-windows-x64.exe
   • Android: ChloeVibes-android.apk (debug, sideload)
3. Windows: run the exe. Prefer Intiface Central on ws://127.0.0.1:12345; if nothing is listening, the app starts an embedded Buttplug server.
4. Android: sideload the APK, grant mic / nearby devices as prompted (Visualizer needs RECORD_AUDIO even for system audio).

Stable rolling links (same binaries as the versioned Latest when kept in sync):

Platform	URL
Windows	https://github.com/coldbricks/Chloe-Vibes/releases/latest/download/ChloeVibes-windows-x64.exe
Android	https://github.com/coldbricks/Chloe-Vibes/releases/latest/download/ChloeVibes-android.apk

Quick start

Step	What to do
1	Connect the device (scan → enable)
2	Play a track with a clear kick
3	Press FIND BOOM (desktop) or pick Bass Drum / a BOOM tempo macro
4	Raise volume / multiplier only as far as you mean to
5	Stop all devices when done

Expert knobs (trigger shape, slew, curves) live under OVERRIDE — the main surface is presets + FIND BOOM.

---

What’s new in v1.5.0

Area	Change
FIND BOOM	Max-dynamic bass-drum tuner (UI name for AUTO-LOCK)
Bass Drum default	Kick-only natural BOOM path
Domi hang fix	Pluck/boom release to true zero; device rest floors; motors actually stop
UI declutter	Expert controls collapsed; auto-scan on connect
Crash hardening	WASAPI capture panic recovery; session heartbeat log

---

Signal chain (invariant)

Order never changes on either client:

SYSTEM AUDIO
    → Spectral (2048-pt FFT, 8 bands)
    → Gate (hysteresis · optional auto)
    → Beat (onset · tempo · 76 ms pre-fire)
    → ADSR (A/D/S/R · curves · overshoot)
    → Climax (optional · off by default)
    → Output map (0…20 · asymmetric slew)
    → BLE / Buttplug

Desktop can switch to Original Chloe Vibes (RMS) loudness mode. Android always runs the advanced chain.

Status

Actively developed on real hardware (Domi / Edge). Desktop is the FIND BOOM + safety reference; Android tracks the same engine via parity CI.
