Codeio Beta Get Codeio

Not out yet.

Codeio is a desktop app for Claude Code that reads the answers out loud. It is still in beta. Builds appear here the day they are signed — below is what to set up in the meantime.

The builds

macOS on Apple silicon ships first, because that is where Codeio is built. Nothing in it is Mac-only, so the rest is packaging work rather than a rewrite.

  • macOS Apple silicon
    arm64 —
  • macOS Intel
    x64 —
  • Windows 10 and 11

No installer script, no Homebrew, no models to download. About 170 MB of the download is the two voice models, already inside the app when you open it.

One thing to set up, and you can do it now.

Codeio uses the Claude Code you already have, so all it needs is a working claude command. If that runs in your terminal, you are done. If not, it is two commands and about two minutes.

  1. Install Claude Code

    Skip this if claude already runs.

  2. Sign in, once

    Run it and follow the prompt. Codeio picks up the same login, so there is nothing to paste. An ANTHROPIC_API_KEY works too, if you prefer.

  3. Check it worked

    If this prints a version number, you are ready. When the build lands, opening it is all that is left.

What “beta” means here

It will have bugs
It is version 0.1.0. Crash reports are on by default so they get fixed — faults only, never your code or conversations — and you can turn them off in Settings. Details.
The voice takes ~800 ms to start
That is as fast as the voice model goes. You pay it once per turn, while Claude is already thinking.
Some things are missing on purpose
The microphone is push-to-talk only — it never listens on its own, and you cannot interrupt by talking over it. There is no undo history, no debugger or editor extensions, and Claude Code is the only agent.
Your code still goes to Anthropic
Only the voice is local. Claude Code is still the agent, so your prompts and the files it reads are sent to Anthropic, exactly as they are when you run claude yourself. Full details.
