## What is Lathe Companion?

Keep your AI coding agents moving when you step away from your desk. Lathe Companion connects your iPhone to Lathe on your computer, so you can follow your agents, answer them and approve what they do.

FOLLOW YOUR WORK
Browse projects and threads, read conversations as they stream in, and see what every agent is up to at a glance.

WATCH YOUR TERMINALS
Every terminal in an open project shows up on your phone, including command-line agents running in Lathe's agent panel. Open one to see it live, in your Lathe theme's colors, and scroll back through earlier output. Answer a y/n prompt with one tap. If you turn on typing in Lathe, you can type and press Esc, Tab, the arrows or Ctrl-C too.

REVIEW AND APPROVE
Check what a tool wants to do, with the code change in front of you, then approve or reject it.

REVIEW PULL REQUESTS
See the pull requests in each project from GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket, using the accounts already connected in Lathe. Read the description, checks and diff, comment on a line, and approve or request changes.

KEEP THE CONVERSATION GOING
Answer agent questions, send follow-ups, start a new thread in any open project, change the model for a thread, or stop a run.

KNOW WHEN YOU'RE NEEDED
Notifications for approval requests, questions, finished work, errors and terminals waiting for input. Turn each one on or off. They never include message content.

PAIR WITH YOUR DESKTOP
Scan the pairing code in Lathe and accept the connection on your computer. Everything between your phone and your computer is end-to-end encrypted.

TRY THE DEMO
Tap "No Lathe yet? Try the demo" on the Desktops screen to try conversations, approvals, agent questions, terminals and pull requests. No login, desktop or subscription needed.

Connected desktop features need a subscription, Lathe running on the paired computer, and an internet connection. Your agents and development tools run on your computer. Any AI provider services you use are separate and subject to their own terms and charges.
