PixelHQ vs Moshpit

Watch your coding agents come to life. PixelHQ transforms your Claude Code sessions into a real-time pixel art office. Every file read, every terminal command, every search — animated as tiny characters working away at their desks in a retro startup office. It's the most fun way to see what your AI coding agent is actually doing. Connect PixelHQ to the lightweight bridge server running on your laptop, and your coding sessions instantly appear as live office activity. Characters read files at their desks, run to the terminal, huddle up for planning sessions, and head to the whiteboard when exploring your codebase. The busier your agent, the busier your office. How it works 1. Run the bridge server on your laptop (`npx pixelhq`). 2. Pair your iPhone with a one-time 6-digit code. 3. Start a Claude Code session and watch your office come alive. The bridge watches your Claude Code session files, extracts only the metadata needed for animations (like event type and tool category), and streams it to the app over your local Wi-Fi. Auto-discovery via Bonjour means no IP addresses to type in — just pair and go. Your code stays on your machine. Period. We take privacy seriously. Here's exactly what happens to your data: - The bridge strips everything sensitive before it ever reaches the app. No source code, no prompts, no AI responses, no file contents, no full file paths — none of it is transmitted. - File paths are reduced to just the filename (e.g. "auth.ts", never the full path). - All communication happens entirely over your local network. Nothing is sent to the cloud or to us. - Pairing is protected with a one-time passcode, and reconnection uses a secure token stored in your device's Keychain. - The only data that leaves your device is anonymous, aggregate usage analytics (app opened, session duration) through TelemetryDeck, a GDPR-compliant, privacy-first analytics provider that collects no personal identifiers. We built PixelHQ local-first by design, not as an afterthought. Your code is your business. Features - Real-time pixel art visualization of Claude Code activity - Automatic bridge discovery on your local network — no manual setup - Secure pairing with passcode protection - Multiple animation states driven by live coding events: file reads, writes, terminal commands, searches, planning, and more - Demo mode to preview the office without connecting to a live session Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://paper-swallow-130.notion.site/Privacy-Policy-2f7b6873ae248098b7ead558245be0bf

Your coding agents don't stop when you stand up. Moshpit is the terminal that lets you answer them from anywhere — a lock-screen alert the moment an agent needs you that drops you into the pane that asked, a glance at Claude Code or Codex from the Dynamic Island, and a brand-new isolated task started from your phone. A REAL TERMINAL FIRST • SSH and Mosh — sessions that survive Wi-Fi/5G handoffs, sleep, and bad hotel networks • tmux control mode: native rendering, swipe between windows and panes, create/rename/kill — no tiny fake desktop squeezed onto a phone • herdr support: the multiplexer built for coding agents, rendered one full-width pane at a time • iPad: hosts on the left, the terminal on the right, tmux pickers as popovers • Hardware-keyboard friendly — ⌘K, ⌘1–⌘9, ⌘W on iPad — custom themes, seven terminal fonts, nine Liquid Glass icons BUILT FOR AGENT WORK • See every agent at a glance: who needs you, who's working, for how long • Needs-you pings on the lock screen, sealed end to end and delivered even with the app closed — tap one and you are in the pane that asked • Start an agent on a fresh git worktree from your phone: pick a repo, name a branch, optionally hand it the first prompt • Agent status needs ZERO host-side setup on herdr; a one-line hook install on tmux HONEST BY DESIGN • One-time purchase. No subscription, no accounts, no feature tiers. • Nothing is collected. No analytics, no tracking — your keys stay in the iOS Keychain on your device and your traffic goes only to your own servers. • Moshpit never installs anything on your host silently, never creates sessions behind your back, and tells you when it degrades instead of quietly switching transports. Works with any SSH server. Mosh, tmux and herdr are optional — install guides are built in.
