VoiceMode

Natural voice conversations with Claude Code (and other MCP capable agents)

VoiceMode enables natural voice conversations with Claude Code. Voice isn't about replacing typing - it's about being available when typing isn't.

Perfect for:

• Walking to your next meeting
• Cooking while debugging
• Giving your eyes a break after hours of screen time
• Holding a coffee (or a dog)
• Any moment when your hands or eyes are busy
