Control vs IM.codes

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.

Remote terminal access for AI coding agents. Manage Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Qwen, and OpenClaw sessions from your phone and Apple Watch. • Sending messages to and receiving output from remote AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw)* • Cross agents aduit, review, plan, brainstorm, or discuss • Viewing live terminal output from remote development sessions • Browsing and edit remote project files, uploading files or photos from the device, downloading files from the server • Viewing repository information and file changes (git diffs) • Running and monitoring multiple agents in parallel • Receiving push notifications when agents complete tasks or need attention • Voice input for hands-free interaction • Biometric authentication with Face ID / Touch ID • Multi-server dashboard — manage agents across all your machines • Self-hostable — deploy the open-source server on your own infrastructure IM.codes is a developer tool — not an AI service. A daemon runs on your dev machine and manages terminal sessions through tmux. This app connects via WebSocket for real-time remote access, the same way an SSH client works. AI agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI) are third-party tools that you install and authenticate independently on your own machines. The relay server is fully open source under MIT. Self-host for production use, or try the demo at app.im.codes. Source: github.com/im4codes/imcodes
