Read full description

Vibe code from anywhere. Literally. Veelops connects your phone to your machine's full terminal — your shell, your tools, your AI coding agents. Run Claude Code from the couch. Kick off a build on the train. Pair program with a teammate from across the world. All end-to-end encrypted with a protocol that makes SSH look like a science project to set up. — THE IDEA — Your laptop is at home. Your dev environment is set up just right. Veelops lets you use all of it from your phone. Install the agent, scan a QR code, done. No SSH keys, no VPN, no certificates, no open ports, no config files. If your machine has internet, it works. — VIBE CODE WITH AI AGENTS — The agent works perfectly with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and OpenCode. Mount your repos, point an AI agent at your codebase, and ship features from a park bench. Your phone becomes the remote control for your dev machine. — SESSIONS THAT JUST WORK — Switch from Wi-Fi to cellular. Close the app. Come back hours later. Your session kept running. Long builds, background processes, AI agents working through a task — nothing is lost. Reconnect and it's all there. — BUILT FOR YOUR THUMBS — Local echo so typing feels instant. Terminal auto-sizes to your screen. Easy copy/paste of output. Nerd Fonts built in for powerline prompts. — COLLABORATE LIVE — Multiple people in one session. Same terminal, everyone can type. Pair program, debug together, or walk someone through a deploy in real time. — ACTUALLY SECURE — Not SSH. Not a VPN tunnel. A purpose-built protocol where the relay server is content-blind — it routes traffic but literally cannot read it. Noise IK handshake, XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption, perfect forward secrecy. One-time pairing codes. Free plan available. No credit card required. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
