RemoteConsole
Read full descriptionHide full description
Run your coding agents from your phone โ and take over when you need to. RemoteConsole is a mobile command center for the developer on the go. SSH into your own Mac or Linux machines, reattach to the session where your coding agent is running, steer it by touch or voice โ and the moment the agent won't or shouldn't act, drop into a real terminal and do it yourself. ANY AGENT, YOUR MACHINES Drive Claude Code, Codex, Aider, Gemini CLI, or any shell command โ on hardware, keys, and quota you already own. Connect to all of your machines from one phone. You're not locked to one vendor's cloud or one agent. TAKE OVER WHEN YOU NEED TO Agents stall for input, hit safety guardrails, and can't be trusted with security-critical work. Agent-only apps leave you stuck on your phone. RemoteConsole gives you the machine itself: run that sudo command, rotate a secret, restart a service, or handle a production incident by hand โ from anywhere. SESSIONS THAT SURVIVE tmux-backed sessions keep your agent running while you're away and reattach instantly after a dropped connection or a switch between devices. CONNECT FROM ANYWHERE โ NO VPN, NO PORT FORWARDING Install the free RemoteConsole agent on your computer, scan a QR code, and the built-in relay reaches your machine even behind NAT. Your SSH session stays end-to-end encrypted โ the relay only ever sees encrypted data. ALSO INCLUDED โข Full xterm-256color terminal with true Unicode โข Voice control โ speak a command, confirm, and it runs โข SFTP file browser โ upload and download with a tap โข Face ID / fingerprint unlock; credentials stored in the secure keychain โข A custom keyboard toolbar with the keys a terminal actually needs (Ctrl, Esc, Tab, arrows, pipe) PRO Free to start: unlimited direct SSH, Tailscale and self-hosted relay connections, plus your first managed-relay machine. Pro unlocks the zero-config managed relay for all of your machines, as a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.
