Really Remote puts your Mac's terminal, and the coding agents running in it, in your pocket and on your wrist. Connect over your own network (Wi-Fi, VPN, or SSH tunnel) and keep working from anywhere: send commands, watch output stream live, and know the moment your agent finishes or needs your input. • Live status, see at a glance whether your agent is working or ready • Apple Watch app, a glance of your session on your wrist, and a buzz when it's your turn, even while your phone is locked • Reply from anywhere, special-key rows, a full keyboard, or a quick tap to answer • Multiple sessions, jump between tmux sessions on your Mac • Private by design, connects only over your own network; no public servers Requires the free Mac Relay Server on your Mac (download from our website). https://particlewaves.org/really-remote/
MuxAgent

Walk away from your desk. Your AI agent keeps coding. MuxAgent is a mobile command center for AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, Github Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and Goose. Pair your phone with your dev machines, monitor agent activity, and approve or deny tool calls — all through an end-to-end encrypted connection. THE PROBLEM AI coding agents are powerful, but they need you at your desk. They pause for approvals, wait for input, hit errors. Step away, and everything stops. THE SOLUTION muxagent keeps you connected. Get push notifications when your agent needs attention. Review what it wants to do. Approve or deny with a tap. Your agent keeps working while you grab coffee, commute, or sit in a meeting. CONTROL YOUR AGENTS REMOTELY Start new agent sessions or continue existing ones from your phone. Chat in real time with full Markdown rendering and syntax-highlighted code blocks. Your agent sees exactly what it would see at your terminal. APPROVE WITH CONFIDENCE When your agent wants to edit files or run shell commands, you see the full details first. Review code diffs with proper syntax highlighting. Examine execution plans before they run. Nothing happens without your explicit approval. MULTI-MACHINE MANAGEMENT Running agents on multiple dev machines? muxagent connects to all of them. Switch between machines in one tap. Each connection is independently encrypted. VOICE & IMAGE INPUT Dictate prompts with speech-to-text when typing is inconvenient. Attach screenshots or photos to give your agent visual context. SECURITY All communication is end-to-end encrypted. Your code and prompts are encrypted on your phone and decrypted only on your dev machine. The relay server cannot read your data. Built by developers, for developers.
