Nex-Bridge is the dedicated mobile management tool for your self-hosted local AI Agents. It bridges the gap between your mobile device and your desktop's local server, offering a seamless experience for developers and power users. IMPORTANT: This app is a connection tool only. It does not provide built-in AI models or generation services. You must have your own Local Gateway running on your computer to use this app. γCore Featuresγ Secure Cloud Relay Access your local agents (like Clawdbot) from anywhere in the world. Our End-to-End Encrypted WebSocket relay service breaks through local network restrictions, allowing you to control your home server without complex VPN setups. AI Kanban Board More than just a chat interface. Nex-Bridge automatically parses task-related content from your agent's responses and organizes them into a visual Kanban board. Drag and drop tasks between "Todo", "Doing", and "Done" to keep your workflow moving. Native Performance Built with native iOS technologies, offering a smooth, responsive interface designed specifically for mobile task management. Privacy First (End-to-End Encryption) Zero-Knowledge Architecture. Your data is encrypted locally before transmission. The server only stores ciphertext, and your decryption keys/passwords are stored exclusively on your local device. We cannot access your data even if we wanted to. γHow to Useγ Set up and run the compatible Local Gateway on your desktop computer. Generate your connection Token. Enter the Token in Nex-Bridge to establish a secure, encrypted link. Start chatting and managing tasks remotely!
