## What is Pathrule?

Pathrule is the Context Layer for AI coding, now on your phone.

The Pathrule iOS app brings your AI coding workspace wherever you are. Start new chats, create AI Tasks, monitor running AI agents, review progress in real time, mirror the latest designs from Pathrule Studio, and jump back into conversations from anywhere, while your source code stays securely on your Mac.

Pathrule does not replace your AI coding assistant. It makes the ones you already use smarter by delivering the right context at the right time.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Continue AI coding from anywhere. Start new conversations, reply to existing sessions, and stay connected to your AI agents without being at your desk.
• Create AI Tasks. Turn ideas into structured plans, organize work with Kanban boards, and launch AI-powered tasks remotely from your iPhone.
• Mirror your latest designs. Designs created in Pathrule Studio automatically appear on your iPhone, making it easy to review screens and share progress wherever you are.
• Watch every step live. Follow your agents as they think, plan, edit files, and complete tasks in real time.
• Use the AI tools you already pay for. Pathrule works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, and more. No additional AI subscription required.
• Deliver only the context that matters. Pathrule automatically injects path-scoped memories, rules, and skills before the first tool call, helping agents stay focused while reducing unnecessary tokens. Based on publicly shared benchmarks, projects can use up to 90% fewer input tokens.*
• Explore your team's Context Layer. Browse the memories, rules, and skills attached to every repository path exactly as your AI agents receive them.
• Trigger reusable skills. Launch predefined workflows, checklists, and procedures directly from the composer whenever you need them.

THE CONTEXT LAYER

AI coding is not a prompt problem. It is a context problem.

Pathrule creates a shared Context Layer for your team by routing the right knowledge to the right AI agent at exactly the right time. Instead of sending massive instructions with every request, Pathrule delivers only the knowledge relevant to the files being worked on.

Every workspace is built from three simple primitives:
• Memory: Capture decisions, architecture notes, incidents, and project knowledge in lightweight Markdown.
• Rule: Define scoped constraints your AI assistants must follow for specific files or directories.
• Skill: Create reusable workflows and procedures that agents can invoke whenever they are needed.

One knowledge layer for every AI coding assistant.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your privacy comes first.

Every connection between your iPhone and Mac is end-to-end encrypted, and the encryption keys never leave your devices. Your source code remains on your own machine. Pathrule only synchronizes your team's knowledge and securely streams your live AI sessions.

REQUIREMENTS
Pathrule for iOS is the companion app for Pathrule Studio on macOS.

Install Pathrule Studio on your Mac, sign in with the same account, and instantly access your workspaces, AI agents, live coding sessions, AI Tasks, and mirrored designs from anywhere.

Download Pathrule Studio at pathrule.io.

Token savings vary by project and usage. Figures are based on publicly shared benchmark results.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0 — 2026-09-25

Pathrule is now on iPad. Workspaces, chats and the open conversation sit side by side in three columns, in portrait or landscape, in Split View and in Stage Manager. Each window keeps its own workspace and chat.

Keyboard shortcuts. With a hardware keyboard, Command-Return sends, Command-Period stops, Command-N starts a new chat and Shift-Command-T opens Tasks.

Usage limits at a glance. New Home Screen widgets show how much is left on Claude, Codex and your other providers, and when each window refills. Pick one provider, a pair side by side, a countdown to the next refill, or a list in the order you choose. On Apple Watch, a Limits screen and new complications keep the same numbers on your wrist. The numbers come from Pathrule on your Mac.

A fresh start for new chats. An empty chat now offers starter cards for planning, a council, a workflow or picking up from your history. Tap one to fill the composer.

Plan a single message. Start a message with /plan to run just that turn in plan mode.

Messages you send are saved encrypted on your device and retried automatically if the connection drops, even after you close the app.

Apple Watch. Replies appear on your wrist as they are written, with a line showing what the agent is doing. Conversations open at the newest message, you can reply by dictation, Scribble or keyboard, and tapping a notification opens its chat.

Chats started on your Mac show their first reply right away, and a message that cannot be decrypted now retries instead of leaving a gap.

### 1.5 — 2026-08-11

Dictation. Speak your prompt instead of typing it. Transcription is handled for you, and it falls back to your device when you are offline.

Find your place again. Search across your conversations to get back to the thread where something was decided, and use the new navigator to jump straight to a turn instead of scrolling for it.

Schedules. Review the tasks you have scheduled, see when each one next runs, and change or pause them from your phone.

Run status. Follow a run while it is still going and see why it stopped, without opening your Mac.

Task threads. A card now carries its own discussion, so the context behind a task travels with it.

Live sessions and the board are steadier throughout, and long conversations load faster.

### 1.4 — 2026-07-27

Pathrule now comes to Apple Watch. Start chats with dictation, read and reply to conversations, use quick replies, and review or act on tasks from your wrist.

On iPhone, chat controls now stay aligned with Studio, workspace knowledge and task flows are easier to navigate, and live sessions are more reliable across supported coding agents.

### 1.3 — 2026-07-17

This update brings the iOS chat experience in line with Studio on your Mac. Live sessions are more reliable: conversations recover cleanly across engines, interruptions are handled consistently, and sign-in hiccups retry gracefully instead of dropping your session. We also added Grok and Kimi to the coding agents you can follow from your phone. Thanks for using Pathrule.

### 1.2 — 2026-07-10

• New AI Tasks. Create, organize, and launch AI-powered tasks remotely with Kanban workflows.
• Design Mirroring. Instantly view the latest designs from Pathrule Studio on your iPhone.
• Performance improvements and bug fixes.
