Getting Started
VoxClaw sits in your menu bar, waiting for your coding agent to send text.
Quick Setup
- Launch VoxClaw. It appears in your menu bar.
- Connect your agent. Install the plugin for Claude Code or Codex.
- Choose a voice. Works with your Mac's built-in voice. Add an OpenAI or ElevenLabs key for natural voices.
How It Works
VoxClaw runs a local HTTP listener on port 4140. When your agent finishes a response, the plugin sends text to this listener. VoxClaw speaks it aloud with a synchronized teleprompter overlay.
Start typing before it finishes and it stops automatically.
Menu Bar

Tip: Apple's built-in voice works with no API key — everything on-device.
