Gollyo is a voice interface for Claude Code. Connect your iPhone or iPad to your development machine and drive Claude Code sessions completely hands-free, from anywhere. How It Works - Gollyo connects your phone to your dev machine through a secure WebSocket relay — no open ports, no VPN required. Talk to Claude, get responses read back to you, and approve tool permissions by voice or tap. Private by Design - Your code never touches Gollyo's servers. Claude runs on your machine. The relay only passes messages — it never stores or reads your code. What You Can Do - Start and continue Claude Code sessions by voice; Approve or deny tool permissions instantly; Switch between multiple machines and sessions; Build hands-free from your iPhone or iPad Requirements - Claude Code on your dev machine, Gollyo daemon installed (free, one command), iPhone or iPad running iOS 17 or later. Pricing - Gollyo is free to download with one device and one server included. Unlock additional iOS devices for $9.99, or connect unlimited servers for $9.99. Claude usage billed separately through Anthropic. Your voice. Your code. Your machine. Untethered.
