FD Controller
Read full descriptionHide full description
This application acts as a tool for developers, database managers, and others alike to perform Redis functions and HTTP Requests... All at the push of a button! It can come very handy in some situations where a specific HTTP request needs to be made, or a value inside of a Redis database needs to be set or read, without the need to type all the necessary commands into a terminal or other application.
Zedra

Your coding agents run on your own machine. Zedra puts them in your pocket. Start a task on your laptop, walk away, and keep working from your phone. Zedra connects straight to your development machine, so you can watch agents work, answer their questions, review the diff, and start the next task from anywhere. WORKS WITH THE AGENTS YOU ALREADY USE Claude Code, Codex, opencode, and any other CLI agent or shell command. Zedra runs a real terminal, not a chat mirror, so nothing about your setup has to change. RUN A SWARM, NOT A SESSION Most work is several agents at once. Zedra shows every session on one screen with live status, so you can see which agent is thinking, which one finished, and which one is blocked waiting on you. NEVER MISS AN APPROVAL Agents stop and ask before they touch anything important. Zedra sends a push notification the moment one needs you, so a waiting agent is never a surprise you find twenty minutes later. A REAL TERMINAL Full terminal emulation with color, mouse reporting, and TUI support. A keyboard row built for code gives you arrows, tab, escape, and control without fighting the on-screen keyboard. Paste screenshots straight into a prompt. READ THE DIFF BEFORE YOU MERGE Syntax-highlighted diffs, file trees, and git status. Select code in the editor or a file preview and send it straight to an agent with Add to Chat, without switching apps. CONNECTS DIRECTLY, NOT THROUGH US Pair by scanning a QR code once. Zedra builds an encrypted peer-to-peer connection between your phone and your machine, and falls back to a relay only when your network blocks a direct route. Relays forward encrypted packets they cannot read, so Zedra never sees your code. Agents still talk to whichever provider you configured them with. OPEN HOST The host daemon is open source and runs on macOS and Linux. Install it with one command, keep it running in the background, and pair as many devices as you want. Requires a Mac or Linux machine running the Zedra host.
