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.

Happier is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted companion app for AI coding agents: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, Pi, Grok, Gemini, Copilot, Qwen, Kimi, Kilo, Kiro, Auggie. Run sessions on your computer, and continue them from your phone. Use our desktop app or web app, and truly start working from anywhere. YOUR EXISTING SESSIONS? ALREADY THERE. Open any Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode session running on your computer — live, from your phone. Nothing to migrate, nothing to learn. APPROVE FROM ANYWHERE Your agent asks to run a command and you get a push notification with Allow and Deny on it. Sessions waiting on a decision rise to a "Needs attention" group at the top of your list; everything still running gathers under "Working". REVIEW THE DIFF. SEND NOTES TO YOUR AGENTS. Browse every line your agent changed. Mark the exact lines you want addressed, choose which notes to send, and hand them straight back — same session, or a new one. EDITOR. GIT. TERMINAL. ONE TAP AWAY. Chat, files, Git and a live terminal, each its own tab. Open a file to read or edit it, review the diff, manage branches and open a pull request. YOU LOVE THE TERMINAL? WE DO TOO. If you want, you can keep running Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode in their native TUI. Happier mirrors them to every device, so you can follow along, send messages and approve permissions from anywhere — and switch between the terminal and Happier whenever you like. A COLLEAGUE YOU CAN TALK TO The voice assistant watches every running session. Brainstorm the next change, approve a permission or send a message, without picking up the phone. YOUR SESSIONS WORK AS A TEAM A session can start another session, send it messages and read its transcript — so a Claude session and a Codex session can split the work between them. Each one still runs its own subagents, on whichever backend you choose. USE THE SUBSCRIPTIONS YOU ALREADY PAY FOR Happier reuses the subscriptions and logins your existing CLIs already use — Claude, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, OpenCode. No new bill, no double billing, and Happier sells no AI of its own. POOL YOUR ACCOUNTS. KEEP THE SESSION GOING. Link accounts you own into a pool and watch usage and quota resets for every one of them in the app. Nothing switches until you build a pool — once you have, Claude Code and Codex sessions can change account without stopping, moving to whichever member has the most quota left, at most once a turn and never past a reset time the provider has published. OPEN SOURCE. END-TO-END ENCRYPTED. Your messages, prompts and session content are encrypted on your device before they reach a server: AES-256-GCM under a key drawn for that one session, sealed to an account key that is created on a device and never leaves your devices. The relay stores ciphertext and has nothing to open it with. Put the relay on your own hardware with one command — happier relay host install — or reach your computer over Tailscale and use no relay at all. FREE, AND MIT LICENSED The CLI, the mobile apps, the desktop app, the web app and the relay. No seat count, no trial, no feature gate. github.com/happier-dev/happier HOW TO START 1. On your computer: curl -fsSL https://happier.dev/install | bash (Windows: iwr https://happier.dev/install.ps1 -useb | iex) 2. Scan the QR code your terminal prints, with this app. 3. Start a session from the app, or run "happier claude" or "happier codex" in your terminal. REQUIRES A COMPUTER Happier is the client for agents running somewhere you control. It does not run an agent in the cloud, and your repository is never copied to us: the agent reads and writes files on the computer it runs on, and that computer stays the only full copy. Not affiliated with, or endorsed by, Anthropic, Google, GitHub or Cursor.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VibeGo at 5.0 against Happier's 4.4. VibeGo also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 71%). Happier's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and chart position (#146 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
