Yado gives you a full cloud development environment on your phone: a real terminal and a chat interface driven by your own AI coding agent. You can work from your phone, without a laptop. WHAT IS YADO? Sign in with GitHub and a cloud development container starts for you, with the tools already installed. Chat with your agent to build, or drop into a real terminal when you want direct control. You can switch between chat and terminal, and they share the same session and context. FEATURES - No laptop required. Your environment runs in the cloud, not on a computer that has to stay awake. - No setup. The container comes ready, with nothing to install or configure. - Bring your own agent. Connect the AI subscription you already pay for. Your AI provider bills you for usage, not Yado. - Chat or terminal. Start in chat, take over in the terminal, and keep the same context. - Live preview. Run your app and open it on your phone. - Push notifications. Start a task, lock your phone, and get notified when it finishes or needs you. DEVELOPER TOOLS Real git, a real shell, and standard developer tools. Clone repositories, run builds, make commits, and open pull requests from your phone. SUBSCRIPTION Yado is a subscription. One plan, everything included. Yado is $19.00 per month or $113.99 per year, with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.

DevFob

DevFob puts your Mac's Claude Code sessions on your iPhone — and your Apple Watch. Claude Code runs on your Mac. DevFob lets you watch every session and answer it from anywhere, so a long run never stalls waiting on a prompt you didn't see. • See every session live — running, idle, or needs-you-now. • Answer permission prompts (Allow / Deny) and multiple-choice questions from your iPhone or Apple Watch. • Send a quick instruction or reply without walking back to the Mac. • Resume an interrupted session. • Switch your Mac's operating mode. • Glance at your Claude usage (5-hour and weekly windows). Built for trust: • End-to-end encrypted. Pair your iPhone to your Mac with a one-time code; every command is sealed, so the relay only ever sees ciphertext. • No account, no tracking. It talks to your own Mac, not to us. • The Apple Watch app mirrors your iPhone, so the watch never holds your Mac's keys. DevFob requires the DevFob host running on your Mac (devfob.com).
