Korev runs many coding agents on your Mac, each in its own worktree. The Korev phone app puts all of them in your pocket. See every agent at a glance The workspace list shows which agents are working, which wait for you, and which pull requests are ready to merge, checking or failing. Answer questions from anywhere When an agent needs a decision, Korev tells you. Pick an answer on your phone and the agent carries on. Watch the work happen Follow each agent live: the files it reads, the edits it makes and its to-do list. Approve plans on the go Read a plan before the agent starts. Approve it, ask for changes, or hand it off to a new chat. Merge when checks pass See every check on the pull request, then merge it with one tap. Ask the agent to fix failing checks or resolve conflicts. Start new work Create a workspace and give the agent a task by typing or by voice. Your Mac turns your voice into text on the device. Ask about your code Ask a question about one or more repositories. The agent reads the code and changes nothing. Private by design The phone talks only to Korev on your own Mac, over your own Tailscale network. Korev has no server and no accounts, and collects no data. What you need - Korev for Mac (free, from korev.ai) - Tailscale on your Mac and on your phone - Claude Code or Codex on your Mac No Mac yet?
