About Shadow

Our Mission

Shadow was born from a simple idea: developers shouldn't have to stop being productive just because they're away from their desk. Whether you're commuting, relaxing on the couch, or simply prefer voice interaction, Shadow brings the power of AI-assisted development to wherever you are.

We believe AI tools should be accessible, private, and safe to use in any context - including while driving. That's why we built Shadow with Android Auto integration from day one, with intelligent safety restrictions that adapt to your driving state.

Key Features

• Android Auto Integration - Voice-first interface with smart safety restrictions based on driving state
• Multiple AI Backends - Connect via SSH to Claude Code, Codex, Aider, Gemini CLI, Ollama, or LM Studio
• Cloud APIs - Direct integration with OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and Google Gemini APIs
• On-Device AI - Run DeepSeek-R1, Gemma 2, SmolLM2, Qwen locally with llama.cpp - no internet needed
• Smart Notes & Projects - Organize conversations by project with dedicated working directories
• AI Automations - Create custom automations triggered by time, location, or events
• Android TV Support - Code from your couch with full D-pad navigation support
• Privacy-Focused - Local data storage, optional on-device AI
