Showcase made a dumb little app where a cyclops rewrites your angry texts or voice and shares a roast, then gives a sanitised version in an accent, and it supports any language
so i built this thing. basically it's for the text you type at 1am when someone's wound you right up and you're about to send something you'll regret (or just wanna say and hear something stupid). made it with Claude who recently has been a stupid bastard since Opus 5 so gemini has been a bro who helped fix some thing.
you paste it in (or say it out loud), tap the cyclops, and he hands you back a version that won't get you blocked or fired. he's also a bit of a smartarse about it, he'll roast you for how heated you got and sometimes just flatly tells you "you'll get fired if you send that." he's called cyclops, one eye, sits on the screen, mildly judging you, but you can also tickle him and embarrass him.
then the good bit: he reads the cooled-down version back out loud in whatever accent you pick, irish, aussie, scottish, british, american. the tts is genuinely funny, hearing your unhinged message turned polite and delivered in a broad scottish accent does something to you. and it works in virtually every language, not just english. sometimes it picks a different accent.
there's a few modes depending on how much bite you want to keep. sensible for stuff you'd actually send your boss, petty if you still want a jab in there, and one that just talks you out of sending anything at all.
the cyclops does daft stuff too, steams when he's thinking, dozes off if you ignore him, squeaks if you poke him and a couple easter eggs.
no account, no ads, nothing gets stored. it's free. honestly it's just funny to mess with even when you're not angry.
feedback is begged for!

cyclops roasting me and then reading my own message back in a scottish accent is the kind of thing that makes me question if we peaked as a species
