Like others (smithclay, sst/opencode) have said about aiming for a similar feature, I had plans to make a mobile app for Talkito[0][1] which primarily adds voice TTS/ASR and WhatsApp/slack interactions to Claude Code.

This looks like exactly what I was envisioning so congrats on getting out there first! LMK if you want to add voice controls to this.

This is cool! We've had a bunch of people request for voice control, they've used the native keyboard voice control for now, but it's not great at getting contextual recognition of words (especially technical things). It's on the roadmap, so I'll reach out when we get that started!

Talkito looks very slick! You added voice, sms, and WhatsApp, which I’ve just been wishing for. I’ll have to give this a shot!

Thank you! The SMS is feature is untested so I don't mention it much. I think unlike the others (TTS/ASR/Slack/Whatsapp) SMS will require a paid account on twilio. Twilio can’t absorb the carriers network costs for free like they can with WhatsApp sandboxing. If it's critical for you id be happy to work with you to get that feature working properly!

Also looking more closely at yours I notice the Apache 2.0 license but that doesn't prevent a company taking your work and running it as a SAAS which seems to be how you yourself want to monetize. For this reason I went with AGPL-3.0 so I recommend looking into that.

Good point, I'll take a look at that
