Talk to your Claude instances. All of them. From your couch. No keyboard needed.
Quip turns your phone into a voice remote for any number of Claude Code sessions running on your Mac or Linux machine. Just speak your prompt and it lands in the right terminal.
You're running 4 Claude sessions across different projects. You don't want to walk over to your keyboard every time you have a thought. You just want to say "refactor the auth middleware" and have it go to the right Claude.
That's Quip. Push-to-talk prompting from your phone.
- Volume down to start talking, any volume button to stop
- Tap a window on your phone to pick which Claude gets your prompt
- See all your sessions mirrored live on your phone's screen
- Quick actions — hit Return, Ctrl+C, restart Claude, clear context, all from context menus
- View terminal output — read the last 200 lines of any terminal from your phone
- Arrange windows on your Mac or Linux desktop with one tap
- QR code sharing — scan a QR code from the desktop app to connect instantly
- Works with iPhone and Android
Just open both apps. Quip finds your Mac/Linux machine automatically over the local network via Bonjour/mDNS.
For remote use, a Cloudflare tunnel is bundled — no install, no config, no account needed.
Requires macOS 14+, iOS 17+, Xcode 16+, and XcodeGen.
cd QuipMac && xcodegen generate && cd ..
cd QuipiOS && xcodegen generate && cd ..Install iPhone app over the air on your paired device (recommended):
# Build
xcodebuild -project QuipiOS/QuipiOS.xcodeproj -scheme QuipiOS \
-destination 'generic/platform=iOS' -derivedDataPath QuipiOS/build build
# Install wirelessly on your paired iPhone — list paired devices with
# `xcrun devicectl list devices`, then substitute the name below.
xcrun devicectl device install app --device "<your-iphone>" \
QuipiOS/build/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/Quip.appBuild Mac app:
xcodebuild -project QuipMac/QuipMac.xcodeproj -scheme QuipMac buildAlternative — iOS generic build without install (for CI or generic device targets):
xcodebuild -project QuipiOS/QuipiOS.xcodeproj -scheme QuipiOS \
-destination 'generic/platform=iOS' buildNote: QuipMac/Info.plist and QuipiOS/Info.plist are gitignored — they're regenerated from project.yml by xcodegen generate. Edit project.yml, not the Info.plist. (.xcodeproj files stay tracked so fresh clones open in Xcode without xcodegen first, but Info.plist is small enough to fall into "I'll just edit it directly" traps — hence the asymmetry.)
Requires Android SDK 34 and Java 17.
cd QuipAndroid && ./gradlew assembleDebug
adb install app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apkOr download the APK from the latest release.
Requires Rust 1.75+, GTK4, and libadwaita. On openSUSE Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper install gtk4-devel libadwaita-devel gcc pkg-config
# For X11:
sudo zypper install xdotool wmctrl
# For Wayland (sway):
sudo zypper install ydotool wtype
cd QuipLinux && cargo build --releaseThe binary will be at QuipLinux/target/release/quip-linux.
Supported display servers:
- X11 — full support (xdotool/wmctrl for window management)
- Wayland (sway) — full support via sway IPC
- Wayland (Hyprland) — window enumeration + arrangement
- Wayland (KDE Plasma) — full support via kdotool (install
kdotool; uses ydotool/wtype for input) - Wayland (GNOME) — full support via Window Commander extension (uses ydotool/wtype for input)
Your phone records speech, transcribes it on-device, and sends the text over WebSocket to the Mac/Linux app. The app injects the text into whichever terminal window you selected.
The desktop app broadcasts your window layout to the phone in real-time, so you always see what's where.
