Talk to Your Coding Agent
Hands-free, back and forth
Sometimes I don't want to type on my phone. I want to say what I want, hear the agent's response, and then respond.
That's Cmd+Ctrl voice mode.
Tap the microphone in a session and talk. When the agent replies, you hear a short summary – not a wall of code read aloud – and then it listens for your next message.
It keeps going until you stop it. Talk, listen, talk. Good when you want to ramble and not keep looking at your phone.
Works in lock mode, so take that walk and talk to your coding agent on the way.
Built-in commands
Cmd+Ctrl has a few built-in commands to control voice mode. You don't need any of them to send – just stop talking.
| Say | What it does |
|---|---|
| "Send it" or "over" | Sends right away, without waiting for the pause |
| "Wait" | Holds the message instead of sending it |
| "Never mind" | Takes back what you just said |
| "Read it all" | Reads the whole reply, not just the summary |
| "Say that again" | Reads the reply again |
| "Stop listening" | Turns voice mode off |
You hear a short summary by default. Say "read it all" when you want the full reply.
Works with any agent
Voice mode lives in the app, so it works with every agent Cmd+Ctrl supports – Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, OpenCode, Pi and the rest – or with any daemon you build yourself.
Try it out
Update Cmd+Ctrl on iOS or Android, turn on Voice Summaries in Settings, and tap the microphone in any session. Send After Pause sets how long it waits before sending – 3 seconds by default, or off if you'd rather say "send it". Details are in the voice mode reference.
Let me know what you think, what you like, what you don't like.
