Control vs OpenVide

Your Mac's coding agent, in your pocket. Control is the only native macOS + iPhone app for driving AI coding agents remotely. Pair your iPhone to your Mac over the local network — no cloud, no clipboard, no SSH setup. Just tap and code. WHAT MAKES CONTROL DIFFERENT • Native macOS companion — not a CLI plugin or web wrapper. A real app that sits in your menu bar and manages your coding sessions. • WebRTC peer-to-peer — your prompts and responses travel directly between devices over an encrypted data channel. No relay servers, no third parties. • True orchestration — kick off AI coding agent sessions, approve tool calls, answer questions, and stop runs, all from your phone. • Real-time streaming — follow every token as it arrives, read code diffs, and review changes without walking back to your desk. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install Control on your Mac and iPhone 2. Both devices discover each other automatically via Bonjour 3. Open a project, write a prompt, and watch your agent work FEATURES • Streaming markdown — every token rendered as it arrives, with full code block and syntax support • File diffs — review every line changed, with additions and deletions highlighted • Git-aware projects — browse all your repos, switch branches, see session history • Token & cost tracking — know exactly what each turn costs • Voice input — speak your prompts naturally • Push notifications — get alerted when your agent needs input or finishes • Dark & light themes — designed for any environment • Haptic feedback — feel the progress PERFECT FOR DEVELOPERS WHO • Run long AI coding agent sessions and want to monitor from the couch • Need to approve tool calls or answer agent questions on the go • Want to review code diffs and conversation history without sitting at their desk • Prefer a native, private, peer-to-peer connection over cloud relays COMING SOON • Apple Watch companion • Home screen widgets • Siri Shortcuts integration Control requires a Mac running the Control companion app on the same network. Works with popular AI coding agent CLIs.

Open Vide lets you control AI coding assistants on your remote servers directly from your mobile device. Connect to any machine over SSH and run Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, or Google Gemini CLI — with live streaming output, multi-turn conversations, and persistent sessions that survive disconnections. Features: - Connect to remote hosts via SSH (password or key-based auth) - Run Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Google Gemini CLI sessions - Stream AI output in real-time with a chat-like interface - Resume multi-turn conversations across reconnections - Sessions persist on the remote host — nothing is lost if you disconnect - Built-in terminal for running commands on your hosts - Browse and view files on remote machines - Push notifications when sessions complete - Credentials stored securely on-device Open Vide uses a lightweight daemon on each remote machine to relay commands and capture output. No open ports or cloud accounts required — everything runs over SSH. Open source: https://github.com/open-vide/openvide
