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.

Skyhelm is a command center for the AI coding agents on your computer. Supervise, approve, and steer Claude Code and Codex — right from your phone. Your coding agents run on your desktop. Skyhelm watches every session automatically and streams it to your pocket, so you can leave the desk and stay in command. WHAT YOU CAN DO • See every Claude Code & Codex session live — output, diffs, and what the agent is about to do • Approve or deny risky actions — shell commands, file edits, web fetches — before they run • Take over and type, or just talk: hold to speak in English, Slovak or Czech • Get a push notification the moment an agent needs you LOCAL-FIRST & PRIVATE On your home Wi-Fi, your phone talks straight to your desktop — nothing leaves your network. Your code, terminal output, and keys never touch our servers. REACH IT FROM ANYWHERE (Relay PRO) Away from home? The optional Relay bridges your phone to your desktop over an end-to-end-encrypted, zero-knowledge pipe. The relay only forwards sealed data — it never sees a thing. SECURE BY DESIGN Your desktop is the root of trust. Only devices you pair on your local network can reach it. Your device key lives in the Secure Enclave, unlocked with Face ID. A stolen account alone gets in nowhere. Skyhelm needs a coding agent (Claude Code or Codex) running on your macOS or Linux computer, plus the free Skyhelm desktop agent from skyhelm.dev. The app is free; Relay is an optional subscription. SKYHELM PRO — AUTO-RENEWABLE SUBSCRIPTION Skyhelm is free to use on your own Wi-Fi. Skyhelm PRO adds Relay, which reaches your computer from any network. • Skyhelm PRO Monthly — $9.99 per month • Skyhelm PRO Yearly — $99.99 per year Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it in Settings > your Apple ID > Subscriptions. Terms of Use (EULA): https://skyhelm.dev/terms Privacy Policy: https://skyhelm.dev/privacy
