About

Ripple Remote

GPT and DeepSeek inside the Claude desktop app, and a phone remote that stays connected for hours. ClaudeRipple is a router that lets the Claude app and Claude Code run other models such as GPT, DeepSeek and Gemini. Turn on picker mode and you choose them right in the Claude app's own model menu. Ripple Remote is the phone app that follows those sessions, approves their requests and sends the next instruction. Why Ripple Remote • No 30-minute cutoff: the remote stays connected while your computer is on, so you can follow and approve a job that runs for hours. • Any model you route: sessions running Claude, GPT, DeepSeek or Gemini all work the same from your phone, and you can switch the next turn's model and reasoning effort there too. • Your Claude app sessions: on a Mac, sessions you started in the Claude desktop app's Code tab continue on your phone. • Encrypted alerts: when work finishes or needs approval you get the session name and a summary, and that text is end-to-end encrypted. What you can do from your phone • Sessions grouped by needs input, failed, to review, working and done; folder view and archive • A live timeline of tool calls and replies as they happen • Command output and code diffs • Each subagent's model, instructions and progress • Allow or deny tool requests, approve plans, answer question cards • Attach photos and files, stop work in progress Try it first Tap "Try the demo" on the connect screen to use the real screens with demo data generated inside the app. Nothing leaves your phone. Before you begin • Install and run ClaudeRipple on your computer (macOS, Windows or Linux), then scan the QR code on its dashboard once. • Claude desktop app sessions are currently supported on macOS. • Ripple Remote doesn't run AI models and includes no model subscription. Models follow your computer's ClaudeRipple setup and your own subscriptions or API keys. Privacy • Every message, attachment and notification between your phone and your computer is end-to-end encrypted. Neither the relay nor the push service can read it. • No account, no sign-in, no ads, analytics or tracking. Free. • Unpair in Settings to delete pairing keys and queued messages right away. English and Korean, light and dark. Ripple Remote is an independent app by Ripple House, not affiliated with Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek or Google. Claude is a trademark of Anthropic, PBC; other model names are trademarks of their owners.
