DashVox

DashVox is a voice-first application designed for developers who need to control AI coding agents remotely and hands-free. It enables users to start, monitor, and steer coding sessions powered by AI coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex, which run on a user’s own machine over an SSH connection. The core functionality revolves around voice commands, allowing developers to interact with these agents without touching a keyboard or screen. The application is optimized for mobile and wearable environments, offering dedicated support for iOS and Android smartphones, as well as integration with CarPlay, Android Auto, and smartwatches. This makes it particularly useful for scenarios where hands-free operation is essential, such as while driving, commuting, walking, or performing other tasks that occupy the user’s hands or attention. The product operates on a fully self-hosted backend, meaning users deploy and manage the server component on their own infrastructure. It uses an embedded database and requires no user account or external cloud dependency, which enhances privacy and control over the data. Developers can install the backend on their own machine, connect it to their coding environment, and then use the DashVox app to issue voice commands to the remote AI agents. The app works with a variety of large language models, including Claude, GPT, and Gemini, allowing users to choose the model that best fits their workflow. Voice commands can be used to start new coding sessions, check the status of running sessions, review test results, ask for code suggestions, request refactoring, or query the agent about ongoing tasks. For example, a user might say “show me the status of my frontend session” and receive a spoken summary of current progress, such as “frontend is runni
