AirCodum vs CodeAgent

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.

Your AI coding agent keeps working after you close the laptop. CodeAgent lets you keep up with it: watch a long run live, answer its questions, approve the next step and redirect it from your phone. It is not a way to write code on a small screen. Your agent does the work; you stay in the loop wherever you are. WHEN IT HELPS • A long refactor is running and you have to leave the desk. • An overnight task stops to ask a question, and you answer it from bed instead of finding it stuck in the morning. • The agent wants to run a command or edit a file, and you approve or deny it in one tap. • You started a session in your terminal and want to pick it up on your phone, then hand it back. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Follow the agent's output live, as it works. • Get notified when it finishes or needs a decision from you. • Approve, deny or redirect with a new instruction. • Open a live preview of the app your agent is building and see the change for yourself. • Start a cloud workspace from the app and run your agent there, no laptop needed. • Start a fresh project from your phone, then save it to your repository when it is worth keeping. • Share a live session with teammates so everyone sees the same run. RUNS WHERE YOUR CODE LIVES Your laptop, a cloud workspace, or your own server. Install the CLI or the IDE plugin once, pair with a short code, and your sessions follow you across devices. Works with the agents developers already use, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, GitHub Copilot and any terminal agent through the open-source codeam CLI. Or start with the built-in CodeAgent agent, no setup required. Built in public by an independent developer. The CLI and IDE plugins are open source.
