What is Sled?
Sled is an open-source voice interface that lets you run your coding agent from your phone. When you step away from your desk, your coding agent sits idle waiting for input. Sled solves this by giving you a hands-free way to talk to your local agent over Tailscale. Your code never leaves your machine — you speak, the agent works locally, and you hear the result read back. It works with Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Gemini CLI.
Who it's for
- Remote developers who need to stay productive away from their desk, whether commuting, walking, or taking a break.
- AI-assisted coders who rely on agents like Claude Code or Codex but want to keep their workflow going without staring at a screen.
- Privacy-conscious engineers who want voice control without sending their code to the cloud — Sled keeps everything local over Tailscale.
Key features
Voice-driven agent control
You speak commands and prompts directly to your coding agent. Sled captures your voice, sends it to the local agent, and reads the response back. No typing, no screen needed.
Secure local connection over Tailscale
Sled connects to your machine through Tailscale, so your code and agent stay entirely on your hardware. No third-party servers handle your prompts or code output.
Multi-agent support
Sled works with Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Gemini CLI. You can switch between agents or stick with your preferred tool without changing your workflow.
Fully open source
The entire codebase is available on GitHub. You can inspect, modify, or self-host Sled however you like. No hidden telemetry or proprietary lock-in.
What stands out
"Your code never leaves your machine."
That's the core promise. Most voice-coding tools route your prompts through a cloud service, but Sled keeps everything local via Tailscale. You get the convenience of voice control without sacrificing privacy or security. It's a rare combination in the AI tooling space.
Worth checking out if…
You use coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI and want to stay productive when you're away from your desk. If you value privacy and prefer open-source tools that don't phone home, Sled is a natural fit. It's also worth trying if you've ever wished you could debug, refactor, or brainstorm code hands-free while walking or commuting.
