Your desktop terminal, in your pocket. MobileCLI connects to your development machine and gives you full access to your terminal sessions from your phone. Pair with a QR code, and you're in — no accounts, no cloud relay, no configuration files. Built for developers who use AI coding assistants. Watch Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini work in real time. Approve tool calls from the couch. Fix a stuck prompt from the grocery store. Your sessions keep running whether you're watching or not. REAL TERMINAL, NOT A TOY Full xterm.js terminal with keyboard toolbar — arrow keys for history navigation, escape, paste from clipboard, and file attachments. Everything you type goes straight to your PTY. Everything your PTY outputs streams back instantly over WebSocket. CONNECT YOUR WAY Scan a QR code on your local network, or connect over Tailscale from anywhere in the world. Link multiple machines and switch between them. All connections are direct — your data never touches a third-party server. FILE BROWSER & EDITOR (Pro) Browse your project files, edit code with syntax highlighting, view images and PDFs, search by filename or content. Create, rename, move, and delete files and folders. Upload photos and documents straight from your phone into your terminal session. SPAWN SESSIONS FROM YOUR PHONE Start new terminal sessions remotely — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, or a plain shell. Pick a working directory, name your session, and go. NOTIFICATIONS WHEN IT MATTERS Get a push notification when your AI assistant needs input — tool approvals, plan confirmations, or clarifying questions. Tap to jump straight into the session. MULTIPLE THEMES Classic black terminal, Tokyo Night, or Light mode. Pick what feels right. FREE TO START Connect one device, open terminal sessions, type commands, and get notifications — all free.

About

Multi Agent Manager

Read full description

Multi Agent Manager (MAM) lets you keep an eye on your AI agents from your phone — so you know the moment something finishes or needs your input, even when you're away from your desk. MAM Mobile is a companion to the Multi Agent Manager desktop app. It mirrors your live agent queue and sends a notification the instant a chat is ready or is waiting on you. WHAT YOU GET • Live queue — every tracked AI chat in one place (Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot — across terminal, desktop, and web), each with its current status: generating, needs you, ready, or idle. • Instant notifications — get pinged the moment a chat finishes or pauses for your input. Stop babysitting a terminal. • All your machines, one queue — chats from every desktop you run MAM on, each tagged with its source. • Private by design — only chat titles and status sync to your phone. The contents of your conversations never leave your computer. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install Multi Agent Manager on your desktop (multiagentmanager.app). 2. Turn on "Sync to Mobile" in desktop settings and sign in. 3. Sign in here with the same account — your queue appears. REQUIRES the Multi Agent Manager desktop app. This app displays your queue and sends alerts; it does not run AI agents on its own.
