Collie Remote
Read full descriptionHide full description
Collie Remote is the companion app for Collie, the coding agent that runs on your own computer. Collie writes a reproduction, runs it, and only calls a job done when an assertion it executed has passed. This app lets you watch that happen, and start it, from wherever you are. ⢠See what your machine is working on ā the reproduction, the edits, the verdict. ⢠Start a run from your phone; the work happens on your computer. ⢠Redirect a run that is going the wrong way instead of waiting for it to finish. ⢠Tell the computer what to do in plain words ā open an app, lock the screen, play something. ⢠Read the code it changed, so you can judge the change rather than take it on trust. ⢠Send a photo of the thing that is broken. HOW IT CONNECTS There is no Collie account and no Collie cloud. The app talks to Collie running on your own machine ā either directly over your network, or through an end-to-end encrypted relay when you are away from it. Pairing is one scan plus a number you confirm on the computer itself, so nothing gets in without someone at the keyboard agreeing. You need Collie on your Mac or PC first: https://collie.run Open source: https://github.com/colliehq/collie
