Nura Dev: Voice Control for Claude Code

Overview

Nura Dev is a specialized plugin designed to bridge the gap between your terminal session and your mobile device. It enables voice-controlled interaction with Claude Code. By installing this plugin, users can run Claude Code from their phones. They can use voice input and receive audio responses without needing to touch their laptop.

Benefits

Nura Dev offers several key advantages for developers who want more flexibility in their workflow.

• Voice Interaction: Users can speak commands into their phone, and Claude Code's responses stream back as audio. This allows for hands-free operation. Alongside audio, the phone displays a tappable card containing the full text response for easy reading.

• Remote Approval: When Claude Code requires a tool to be executed, the prompt is sent to the user's phone. Users can approve or deny the action with a single tap. The local terminal dialog remains open on the laptop, ensuring the workflow continues seamlessly.

• Live Activity Monitoring: Every command executed by Claude Code, whether it is a Read, Edit, or Bash command, is displayed live on the phone. This allows users to monitor what Claude is doing even when they are away from their laptop.

Use Cases

Nura Dev is ideal for developers who want to manage code tasks while on the move or without using their hands.

• Mobile Development Management: Developers can approve code changes or run scripts from their iPhone while walking around the office or home.
• Hands-Free Coding: Users who prefer voice commands can dictate instructions to Claude Code and listen to the results without typing or looking at a screen.
• Remote Oversight: Team members can keep an eye on ongoing terminal activities on their phone while focusing on other tasks.

Pricing

Nura Dev requires a paid subscription to cover the costs of voice processing and relay infrastructure.

• Cost: $4.99 per month.
• Trial: The service includes a 7-day free trial.
• Cancellation: Users can cancel their subscription at any time.
• Management: Subscriptions are managed directly through the iPhone app via Settings to Apple ID to Subscriptions.
• Requirements: There is no perpetual free tier. A paid Claude Code subscription from Anthropic is also required to use Nura Dev.

Vibes

Nura Dev is currently in a research preview. Users have noted that the ability to control a powerful coding assistant via voice from a mobile device is a significant convenience. The app supports iOS 18+ devices, and the pairing process is straightforward. While Android support is not available yet, the tool has received positive attention for its innovative approach to remote terminal control.

Additional Information

Nura Dev is a companion tool that works with Claude Code v2.1.81 or later on any platform. The mobile app requires iOS 18+. Currently, Android is not supported. The plugin is installed via the terminal marketplace. Users must launch Claude Code with a specific development flag because the tool is in a research preview. Once officially approved by Anthropic, this flag will no longer be necessary. Voice data flows through the Nura Dev relay for processing and is not retained after the session ends. Local code and files never leave the laptop.
