DashVox

DashVox is a voice-first AI coding assistant that lets developers control AI coding sessions entirely by voice from their phone, car, or smartwatch. Instead of typing at a keyboard, you speak commands to start, monitor, and manage coding agents like Claude Code and Codex that run on your development machine via SSH. The tool reads responses aloud and allows voice approval for AI-generated code changes, making it possible to code while driving, walking, or in other hands-free scenarios.

DashVox works with multiple AI models including Claude, GPT, and Gemini, giving you flexibility in which AI handles your coding tasks. The system includes smart connectivity features like exponential backoff and idempotent message delivery to handle network interruptions gracefully. You can choose between self-hosting the backend on your own machine for maximum privacy or using their cloud option with Firebase authentication. The self-hosted version ensures your code and data never leave your local environment.

This tool is particularly useful for developers who want to maximize productivity during commutes or need hands-free coding capabilities. It's ideal for checking code status, starting new development sessions, reviewing AI-generated code, and conducting web searches while keeping your hands on the wheel or focused on other tasks. The CarPlay and Android Auto integration means you can code safely while driving, and wearable support extends this hands-free capability to smartwatches and potentially smart glasses.
