About Codexini
Codexini is an independent studio building voice-first developer tools. The first product, Aura, is a local voice bridge for Claude Code and Codex CLI. Aura is designed for senior engineers who want to think out loud while their agent works. The app is macOS-only, push-to-talk only, and routes every API call directly through the engineer's own key. No proxy, no telemetry, no upload of code.
