DashVox drives coding agents by voice. It connects to Claude Code or Codex over SSH, speaks the output aloud and takes approvals verbally, so a session can run while driving or walking rather than in front of a terminal.
The design decision that matters is treating audio as the primary channel instead of bolting dictation onto a visual tool. Reading a diff aloud is a different problem from displaying one, and the product is built around that constraint.
It is free to use. The honest limits follow from the format: voice is a poor medium for reviewing a large change, approving code you have not seen carries obvious risk, and the whole use case only applies when your hands and eyes are genuinely busy.
