Your AI coding agents, within reach. Tactic Remote connects your iPhone and iPad to your own computer so you can continue conversations, follow terminal output, inspect files, and respond when a task needs you. Your computer keeps working. You don't have to stay at your desk. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Amp, and Droid on compatible Mac, Linux, and Windows hosts. CHAT AND LIVE TERMINAL Follow streaming replies, code, and tool results in chat, or open the native terminal to enter commands and watch output. Choose an agent when creating a conversation. Each conversation keeps its own agent and context; start another conversation to use a different agent. PROJECTS, FILES, AND SESSIONS Find work by project, switch sessions, browse source files, and inspect file activity and Git changes. Worktree support helps organize separate tasks in the same repository. REMOTE ACCESS AND TRUSTED DEVICES Connect directly on your local network or use Tactic Relay to reach a paired computer over the internet. Relay connections use application-layer end-to-end encryption, so the relay cannot read session content. You can also use a Cloudflare Tunnel you configure. Sign in to your Tactic account to manage trusted devices and bound hosts, add Passkeys, and revoke device access. Your computer and companion server must stay running for remote access. VOICE, SHORTCUTS, AND ALERTS Dictate with Apple Speech, on-device Whisper, or optional cloud speech. Reuse commands and prompts, and receive notifications when work finishes or needs your attention. USAGE AT A GLANCE Where supported, check usage and plan limits for the agent account signed in on your computer. The companion server reads this data locally; availability depends on the agent and account. MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Check in and reply from iPhone, or use iPad sidebars, expanded panels, and keyboard shortcuts. The interface supports English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, and Spanish. IPHONE, IPAD, AND THE WEB Alongside the native app, use a browser to access your own development environment, view sessions, browse files, and use the terminal. A new browser must complete secure pairing before its first connection. Your computer and companion server must stay running. FREE AND PRO The free tier includes 2 saved computers, 2 sessions, 5 custom snippets, and 5 minutes of cloud speech per month. Pro unlocks unlimited computers, sessions, and snippets, plus file upload and editing, the full Shell keyboard, custom quick prompts, all themes, and 35 minutes of cloud speech per month. Available through monthly or annual subscriptions, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. YOUR ENVIRONMENT, YOUR CONTROL Install the companion server and a supported coding agent on your computer, then sign in to and configure the agent. Tactic Remote does not provide an AI model or third-party agent account. Your computer continues to manage your projects, terminal processes, and agent credentials. Optional product analytics excludes code, prompts, terminal output, file paths, and project names, and can be disabled in Settings. Audio is uploaded only when you choose cloud speech. Protect the app with Face ID or Touch ID. Privacy Policy: https://tacticremote.com/privacy Terms of Service: https://tacticremote.com/terms
Pragma Sh Go
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pragma Go is the mobile companion to Pragma, the desktop workspace for running coding agents in parallel. Pair it with Pragma on your Mac, Linux, or Windows computer and take your whole workspace with you: every project, worktree, agent, and terminal, live. REAL TERMINALS Open a shell on your computer and type into it. A terminal you open on the phone is a real tab: it shows up on the desktop too and survives a restart. A key bar adds the keys a phone keyboard lacks (ctrl, esc, tab, ^C, and the arrows). The phone borrows the terminal's size while you look and hands it back when you leave, so your desktop layout is never disturbed. A dropped connection picks up where it left off, and a keystroke is never sent twice. LAUNCH AND STEER AGENTS Create worktrees and launch Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, opencode, and other agents, picking the model and reasoning effort for each. Follow a session as a chat or switch to its raw terminal. Answer agent questions and approve commands, the same prompts the desktop shows, from wherever you are. FAN OUT Send one prompt to several agents at once and compare the attempts side by side. Swipe between them, read every file each one changed, send follow-ups to all of them or just one, and pick the winner to merge. COMMIT & PULL REQUEST Tap once to have AI group your changes into logical commits, then review the title, description, and base branch before anything is pushed. Your computer runs the job, not your phone: locking the screen or losing signal won't cancel it or start it twice. PROJECT SCRIPTS AND PORTS Start your dev server or any project script with a tap, and stop it the same way. See which ports your worktree is listening on and open them in your phone's browser through your own tunnel, with a design mode for pointing at an element and asking an agent to change it. FILES, DIFFS, AND SCRATCHPADS Browse a worktree's files with syntax highlighting, read diffs, and read and comment on the scratchpads and whiteboards your agents write. ACCOUNTS AND USAGE See every agent account's plan usage and when it resets, and switch which account an agent launches with. WIDGETS AND NOTIFICATIONS Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show agents waiting on you, live agent status, pending approvals, and your projects. Push notifications tell you when an agent finishes or needs an answer, and stay quiet while you're at your desk. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Pragma Go talks only to your own computer, over a tunnel you control. Pair it by scanning a QR code, and every request needs your device's token. Your code never passes through Pragma's servers. Requires the free Pragma desktop app (macOS, Linux, or Windows), available at pragma.sh.
