## What is Ground Control Chat?

Every Claude Code session on your Mac becomes a pixel pilot on your phone.

Ground Control shows your AI coding agents as unique little creatures marching on a neon city street. Cyan means working. Lavender means idle. Pink means one of them needs you.

Tap a pilot to open its conversation. Read every reply as it streams in. Send new orders from the couch, the train, or the other side of the world, and watch your actual terminal on the Mac update live.

SETUP IN ONE MINUTE
Run one command on your Mac (npx @clastres/groundcontrol), scan the QR code it prints, done. No account. No signup.

PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE
Your pairing key is generated on your Mac and shared only through the QR code you scan. Everything travels end to end encrypted. Our relay routes sealed bytes and cannot read them. We store nothing.

UNIQUE PILOTS
Every session hatches its own creature, generated from its identity, with its own walk cycle. It keeps that face forever.

Requires a Mac running Claude Code and the Ground Control daemon.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 0.1.6 — 2026-08-19

Fixing visual bugs for the pilots

### 0.1.5 — 2026-08-19

CREW, a list next to the island. The same pilots as rows, grouped by who
needs you, who is working and who is resting, each showing the last thing
it said. There is a search field for when the street gets crowded. The
island is still home. It is just a poor list past about six sessions.

Pilots are yours now. Give one a callsign, a color and a body, and it
keeps them. They are remembered by folder and tool rather than by session,
so an agent you restart comes back as the same pilot instead of a stranger.

A plus button that starts a session on your Mac from your phone. You pick
from the folders you have actually worked in, so you never type a path.

Resting pilots blink and walk slowly. Working pilots never blink. That is
the whole trick to making them look alive.

Fixed a crash coming back from the crew list to the island, and gave the
top row of pilots room to breathe under the mode bar.

### 0.1.4 — 2026-08-12

Your pilots scroll now. Added support for Kimi & Grok Bot pilots. Grok Bot pilots are watch-only. Their agents run in xAI's cloud, so you can read them here, but you reply in the Grok Bot app. The message box tells you instead of letting you type into nothing.

### 0.1.3 — 2026-08-11

Ground Control now speaks Japanese and Spanish.

The app follows your phone's language. To use a different one, open Settings, find Ground Control, and pick a Preferred Language.

Promotional Text is the one field you can change any time without submitting a new version, so when the language news goes stale just drop the first sentence and you're back to the evergreen line:

Your coding agents keep working when you walk away. Ground Control puts them in your pocket as pixel pilots you can watch and command.

### 0.1.2 — 2026-08-04

Answer permission prompts from your phone.

Claude Code stops and asks before it does anything risky. Until now that
meant a session just sat there until you got back to your Mac. You would
open the app, see a pilot happily working away, and have no idea it had
been stuck for an hour waiting on a yes.

Now the question comes to you. Tap the pilot, see exactly what it wants to
run, and pick Allow, Always, or Deny with a reason.

Your Mac still prompts like it always did. Whichever you answer first wins,
so nothing changes when you are sitting at your desk.

One tap in Settings turns it on. If your Mac needs updating first, the app
will tell you.
