# Introduction

> Coddo is a visual interface for Claude Code and Codex CLI - Chat, Kanban, and voice dictation in a desktop app.

## What is Coddo?

Coddo is a **desktop application** that gives you a visual interface for [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) and [OpenAI Codex CLI](https://platform.openai.com/docs/codex). Instead of working in the terminal, you get a beautiful chat UI, an integrated Kanban board to track task execution in real time, and built-in voice dictation to brief tasks at the speed of speech.
