-## Building whisper.cpp Framework
+## Quick Start with Makefile (Recommended)
+
+The easiest way to build VoiceInk is using the included Makefile, which automates the entire build process including building and linking the whisper framework.
+
+### Simple Build Commands
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/Beingpax/VoiceInk.git
+cd VoiceInk
+
+# Build everything (recommended for first-time setup)
+make all
+
+# Or for development (build and run)
+make dev
+```
+
+### Available Makefile Commands
+
+- `make check` or `make healthcheck` - Verify all required tools are installed
+- `make whisper` - Clone and build whisper.cpp XCFramework automatically
+- `make setup` - Prepare the whisper framework for linking
+- `make build` - Build the VoiceInk Xcode project
+- `make run` - Launch the built VoiceInk app
+- `make dev` - Build and run (ideal for development workflow)
+- `make all` - Complete build process (default)
+- `make clean` - Remove build artifacts and dependencies
+- `make help` - Show all available commands
+
+### How the Makefile Helps
+
+The Makefile automatically:
+1. **Manages Dependencies**: Creates a dedicated `~/VoiceInk-Dependencies` directory for all external frameworks
+2. **Builds Whisper Framework**: Clones whisper.cpp and builds the XCFramework with the correct configuration
+3. **Handles Framework Linking**: Sets up the whisper.xcframework in the proper location for Xcode to find
+4. **Verifies Prerequisites**: Checks that git, xcodebuild, and swift are installed before building
+5. **Streamlines Development**: Provides convenient shortcuts for common development tasks
+
+This approach ensures consistent builds across different machines and eliminates manual framework setup errors.
