Void talking, captions appearing word by word

Talk to your code

Void is a little orb that floats on your desktop. Tell him what you want, and he gets
Claude Code to do it in your project. Then he tells you how it went.

🎙️ Just say it. "Hey Void, fix the failing tests."
👀 Watch him work. He holds up a tiny terminal so you see every step.
🔒 Private. Your voice never leaves your computer.
✨ Out of your way. No app window, no taskbar button. Just him.
🔝 Or tuck him into your screen's edge. Push him to any edge and he becomes a MacBook-style notch.

Install

You need Claude Code first. Install it, then run claude once in a
terminal to sign in. Void is the voice and face; Claude Code does the work.

Download VoidSetup.exe and run it.
Wait a few minutes while it sets up his voice and hearing.
Find Void in your Start menu.

_{No admin needed. Uninstall from Settings → Apps.

"Windows protected your PC"? Click More info → Run anyway.}

One line, any distro. Paste it into a terminal:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PLAYER99-void/void/main/get.sh | bash

It picks the right package for your system, downloads and installs it with everything it needs, sets up his
voice and hearing, and starts him. On a distro without a package, it gets the source and installs that instead.
Update now in his settings keeps him current either way.

Or download a package yourself (.deb · .rpm · Arch)

Download the one for your distro from the latest release, then:


	`sudo apt install ./void-claude_*_all.deb`
	`sudo dnf install ./void-claude-*.noarch.rpm`
	`sudo pacman -U ./void-claude-*.pkg.tar.zst`

Then void setup once (his voice and hearing) and void.

Or from source (git clone)

git clone https://github.com/PLAYER99-void/void.git
cd void && ./install.sh
void

It gets the system packages for you (pacman, apt or dnf) and updates itself with git pull.

_{Gentoo or system-wide? See the guide.}

Your first two minutes

	Do this	What happens
1	Start Void	He appears in the bottom-right corner. Drag him anywhere; he remembers the spot.
2	Say "hey Void"	His ring lights up and moves with your voice. (Or just click him.)
3	Ask for something	He works in the current folder. Say "switch to my project" or right-click → folder to change it.
4	Right-click him	His menu: talk, folder, history, show my screen, hover mode, settings.
5	Push him into a screen edge	He merges into it as a notch, with just his eyes. Click the notch for his menu (click again to close it). Drag him out to get the orb back.

[!TIP]
Say "stop" to interrupt him, hold Space for push-to-talk, or just start typing for a text box. Press
Esc to back out of anything. Ctrl+N (or saying "new chat") starts a fresh conversation.

Things to try

💻 Coding	🖥️ Your screen	⚡ Instant
"Hey Void, run the tests"	"What's this error on my screen?"	"Timer 10 minutes"
"Fix the failing test"	"Explain what I copied"	"Volume up"
"What does this project do?"	"Watch my screen" (live view)	"Open firefox"

_{Before running commands he asks first: say "yes", "no" or "always". Change that in Settings → Brain.}

Meet him

He does the work _{Reads, edits and runs commands on a little terminal he holds like a sheet of paper.}	He listens _{Say "hey Void", click him, or keep talking right after he answers.}
He reacts _{Happy, curious, shy, sleepy, starry-eyed… his face follows what he says, word by word.}	Dress him up _{Cat ears, halo, crown, headphones, a bow, and any colours you like.}
Pet him _{Rub the mouse over him and he purrs. Click him too much and he dodges.}	He remembers _{Say "remember my blog is in ~/code/blog" and he knows it in every chat.}
He becomes a notch _{He glows while you talk, and his words and commands drop out of the notch. Clicks go through to what's under it.}	Top, bottom, left or right _{Drag him into any edge and he melts into it. Drag him out and he's the orb again. Windows and Linux.}

Need help?

Run void doctor first. It checks your mic, his voice and Claude Code in a few seconds.

Problem	Fix
He can't hear me	Check the level meter in `void doctor`, then pick the right mic in Settings → Voice.
"I can't find Claude Code"	Install Claude Code and run `claude` once to sign in.
Windows: "DLL load failed"	Install the Visual C++ runtime, then `void restart`.
Something else	Right-click him → Settings → More → Copy diagnostics, then Report a problem and paste it. Or see Troubleshooting.
