DashVox

DashVox is a voice-first IDE designed for AI coding agents. It lets users run Claude Code and Codex sessions over SSH by voice, with spoken output and an optional screen. The product targets developers who need to code away from a desk, using a phone, watch, or car to interact with their machine. It supports driving, walking, or commuting contexts, and can operate in CarPlay, Android Auto, or phone modes. Output is presented audibly to minimize visual attention.

DashVox works by connecting to a user’s dev machine or a managed VM, enabling remote session management and agent control entirely through voice. The workflow involves opening the app on a supported device, speaking commands, and receiving spoken responses. The system emphasizes hands-free operation and keeps the screen optional, aiming to reduce distraction while enabling coding tasks.

DashVox provides multiple capabilities that cover chat with LLMs, remote SSH session control, autonomous agent management, and web search. It supports various models (Claude, GPT, Gemini) and custom endpoints for self-hosted or enterprise models. The product includes safety and security features such as self-hosting and optional cloud auth, along with integration for CarPlay and Wear OS devices to facilitate on-the-go coding and triage.

DashVox platforms include iOS with CarPlay, Android Auto, Wear OS support, and a self-hosted backend option. The system notes that data can stay on the user’s machine in self-hosted mode, while cloud mode involves Firebase-based auth and server-side SSH key handling.

Use cases

• Triage from wherever you are to check logs and diagnose issues by voice.
• Run checks over SSH to tail logs, run health checks, and restart services by voice.
