Pounce vs Handsfree Voice Coding

Pounce puts your AI coding agents in your pocket. Start Pounce on your computer, scan the pairing code, and every agent session running there appears on your phone. Watch them think, write code, run commands, and open pull requests in real time — then step in whenever you want. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Follow every session live — messages, reasoning, tool calls, terminal output and git activity in one clean timeline • Review the diff, then commit, push, or open a pull request • Send a new instruction or answer a prompt with a tap • Use your voice — hold and speak to steer an agent hands-free • See where your usage goes — tokens, spend, sessions and messages, broken down by agent, by model and by project • Keep every machine and project in one list, sorted by what needs you WORKS WITH Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and opencode. HOW IT WORKS 1. Start Pounce on your Mac, Windows or Linux machine — the desktop app, or a single command in any terminal 2. Scan the pairing code with Pounce 3. Your agents and projects appear automatically REACH IT FROM ANYWHERE Pounce connects straight to your own computer over an encrypted peer-to-peer link. That works on cellular or a café network with no VPN and no port forwarding, and your code and conversations never pass through a server of ours. Pounce is open source under the MIT license. Whether you're grabbing coffee, on the couch, or away from your laptop, Pounce keeps your agents moving.

Handsfree turns your iPhone into a voice and text client for the coding agent on your computer. Talk to Claude Code or Codex, hear its replies, approve its actions, and keep your projects moving — hands-free, from anywhere. The voice is unlimited — no usage caps, and it's transcribed entirely on your device. Your agent runs where it always has: on your own machine. Handsfree connects to a small open-source "bridge" you run on your computer (over your Wi-Fi or Tailscale), so your code and conversations stay yours — nothing passes through our servers. CODE WITH YOUR VOICE Turn on voice mode and just talk. Handsfree transcribes your speech on-device and reads replies back to you, so you can steer a coding session while you're away from the desk, on a walk, or making coffee. STAY IN CONTROL Your agent asks before it acts. Approve, deny, or allow-for-the-session right from your phone — and answer the questions it raises along the way. ALL YOUR WORK, ONE TAP AWAY Jump between projects and sessions — across Claude Code and Codex — without losing your place. Pick up any conversation exactly where you left it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-in. • Speech is transcribed on your device. • Your messages go straight to your own computer, never to us — we run no servers. • The companion bridge is open source. GETTING STARTED 1. Install the bridge on your computer: npx handsfree-bridge 2. Put your phone and computer on the same network (or use Tailscale). 3. Scan the QR code the bridge shows. That's it. Handsfree is free. An optional tip supports development.
