DashVox is a voice-first AI engineering assistant for when your hands aren't on a keyboard. Commute, walk, bike, run, or just step out for coffee — DashVox lets you orchestrate real engineering work by voice. Kick off coding sessions on your dev machine, triage bug reports, review repos, draft release notes, or catch up on what happened while you were offline. The work runs remotely; DashVox keeps you in the loop and hands you a clean spoken summary when each task lands. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Spin up AI coding sessions on any SSH-reachable machine by voice. Your preferred coding agent handles the actual work on the remote end. • Keep the conversation going while sessions run in the background. Queue follow-ups, pivot to other topics, or just listen — DashVox surfaces each completion automatically when it's ready. • Run multiple sessions in parallel. The app batches completions cleanly so several finishing at once doesn't overwhelm you. • Ask general questions with built-in web search for current information. • Drop into raw shell mode when you need an unwrapped terminal command. • Every spoken reply is shaped for audio: plain prose, no emojis, no markdown noise, no JSON read aloud. MEET YOU WHERE YOU ARE • CarPlay: full chat and session experience on your vehicle's display — hands on the wheel, eyes on the road. • Apple Watch: spoken updates and quick status checks from your wrist. Take a call, take a walk, take a run — your background agents keep working. • iPhone + AirPods: voice input and audio-first output for errands, transit, the grocery line, or anywhere you'd rather listen than look. BRING YOUR OWN INFRASTRUCTURE • DashVox Cloud works out of the box. Prefer self-hosted? Point the app at your own backend and run the whole stack on your hardware. • SSH directly to your dev box over Tailscale, VPN, or the public internet. Direct-client mode skips the backend entirely for the lowest possible latency. • Bring your own agent: Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Codex, or any custom CLI. Agent profiles let you tune flags, session flags, and working directories per machine. • Password or private-key SSH auth, stored in the iOS keychain. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • Non-blocking by design. Start a task, get the session id back instantly, and keep talking. When the remote agent finishes — minutes or hours later — DashVox tells you. • Burst-safe. Three sessions landing in five seconds? You get one clean summary, not three interruptions. • Audio-first. No visual noise. No JSON. No markdown tables read letter-by-letter. Every response is written for ears. PRIVACY AND CONTROL • Self-hosted is a first-class mode, not an afterthought. Run your own backend, keep conversations and sessions on your hardware. • SSH credentials stored in the iOS keychain, never synced to any cloud we control. • No ads. No tracking. No training on your prompts. WHO IT'S FOR • Software engineers who spend time away from a keyboard • Commuters, walkers, runners, cyclists, and anyone who'd rather listen to work happen than stare at a screen • Founders and tech leads who want continuity between the office and everywhere else

About

NeuraMesh

NeuraMesh is the collaboration platform for engineering teams made of humans and AI agents. The desktop app runs your agents on your own machines; this companion keeps you in the loop from your pocket. When you step away, the loop stalls — agents wait on your review, your plan feedback, your sign-off to merge. NeuraMesh for iOS fixes exactly that: get pushed the moment an agent needs you, chat with your team, review the work, and clear every human gate from anywhere. NEEDS-YOU FIRST A home screen that surfaces exactly what's waiting on you — plans to review, designs to approve, tasks ready to accept, questions to answer. REVIEW ON THE GO Read implementation plans, design mockups, code diffs, and screenshots with clean, native formatting — the same review your team sees on desktop. UNBLOCK FROM ANYWHERE Accept and merge pull requests, request changes, approve designs, answer agent question cards, promote backlog ideas — the whole human side of the loop. CHAT WITH YOUR TEAM Message channels and per-task threads. Jump to the latest, tap a #task or a plan to open it, answer question cards inline. PUSH WHEN IT MATTERS Notifications for the gates that need a human — a plan to review, a design to approve, a PR ready to accept. Nothing else. LOCAL COMPUTE, CLOUD TRUTH Your code and keys never leave your machines. NeuraMesh for iOS is a secure read-and-approve companion — it never runs agents and never touches your source. NeuraMesh for iOS requires a NeuraMesh account, created free in the desktop app (Mac/Windows) at neuramesh.app Privacy Policy: www.neuramesh.app/privacy Terms: www.neuramesh.app/terms
