AirCodum: Remote Control for VS Code Connect your phone or tablet to Visual Studio Code on your own computer. View and control the desktop, send commands, and transfer text, images and documents into your development environment. Features: - Desktop viewing with pinch-to-zoom, pan, scroll, right-click and explicit drag controls. - Saved named computers and VS Code windows with one-tap switching. - A remote keyboard composer: edit a draft on your phone, then send it. Enter is a separate control. - VS Code commands for navigating and editing your workspace. - File, image and text transfer to the selected desktop connection. - Speech input using your device's speech recognition service. - Optional AI and image-to-text features using the provider configured in the desktop extension. Setup: 1. Install the AirCodum extension in VS Code. Find it at aircodum.com or https://github.com/priyankark/AirCodum/releases. 2. Start its server and choose a Local Wi-Fi or Tailscale address. 3. In the phone app choose Add computer or window. Scan the extension's QR code, or enter its displayed address, port and pairing token. Each VS Code window may use a different port. 4. Connect and choose command or VNC mode. Save additional computers and switch from the current session's top bar. Local Wi-Fi requires devices on the same trusted network and uses unencrypted traffic. Tailscale or a configured TLS endpoint provides encrypted transport. On iOS, allow Local Network access when prompted. AirCodum requires a running, reachable computer with VS Code and its compatible extension. VS Code actions and file transfers target the selected window. VNC, desktop typing and keyboard shortcuts control the computer’s foreground desktop. Multiple windows on one computer do not create separate virtual desktops. Scroll and right-click require the updated extension. Pairing tokens are saved in secure device storage. Optional AI or OCR features may forward content to the provider configured on your desktop. Speech recognition uses your device's speech service. Learn more at aircodum.com.

VibeGo brings your remote VS Code workspace to iPhone/iPad, with a layout designed for terminals, AI agents, and real coding on a smaller screen. • Full VS Code when you need full fidelity Open your real remote VS Code workspace on iOS—editor, terminal, file explorer—so you can do “actual dev,” not a watered-down viewer. • Native iOS views for speed on mobile Jump into native screens for the tasks that feel best on iPhone/iPad: quickly browsing files, reviewing output, and taking common actions with less scrolling and fewer taps. Then drop back into VS Code instantly when you need more functionality. • Designed for AI agents in your terminal Run AI copilots or agents in your remote VS Code CLI and drive them comfortably from your iPhone/iPad. The custom command bar gives you quick access to Ctrl‑C, Tab, Enter, arrow keys, right‑click and more, so you can issue commands and fix prompts without hunting for key combos. • Hide the keyboard to reclaim screen space Dock and hide the keyboard when you don’t need it so you can see more of your code, terminals and AI output. Bring it back with a tap when you’re ready to type. • Voice dictation for code and commands Use the dedicated dictation button to speak commands, prompts or small code edits instead of typing everything by hand. Dictation works especially well when you’re combining an AI agent with the command bar. • Localhost and port‑forwarding support VibeGo allows you to forward localhost ports and open them from your phone. Test web apps, APIs and dashboards from anywhere, even when you’re off your home Wi‑Fi. • Built for real projects, not just quick fixes VibeGo is a companion for your desktop VS Code + remote environment. Pair your tunnel once, then reconnect in seconds from your iOS device whenever you need to check on a build, restart a service or collaborate with an AI agent in your terminal. Subscription Details VibeGo Premium (auto-renewable): includes 1 persistent tunnel that does not auto-expire while your VS Code desktop is running. Length: 1 month. Price: $14.99/month (U.S.); prices vary by region and are shown before purchase. Billing: charged to your Apple ID; renews automatically until canceled in your Apple ID subscription settings.
