AgentCmd
Read full descriptionHide full description
AgentCmd is a native remote control for the Qwen Code CLI's server (qwen serve) that runs on your own computer. Start the server in your project, pair your phone by scanning the QR code it prints, and drive your coding agent from anywhere on your network β or over a VPN or tunnel. It speaks the CLI's own protocol, so the phone shows exactly what the desktop does: β’ Live transcript β prompts, the agent's thinking, streamed replies, and every tool call as it happens, with token counts and timings. β’ Approvals on the go β approve or reject file edits and shell commands, with the diff or command right there. Choose how much to auto-approve per session. β’ Full agent toolbox β switch model and reasoning effort, browse and @-reference files, attach photos or files, and reach Plugins, Channels, Scheduled Tasks, Goals and workspaces. β’ Pick up any conversation β your sessions are listed newest-first; open one and its history is restored. β’ Notifications β get told the moment a task finishes, fails, or needs your approval, even while the app is in the background. β’ Yours end to end β the agent runs on your machine and this app talks only to it. No account, no analytics, nothing sent to us. Access tokens live in the device keychain; unencrypted HTTP is allowed only to local/private addresses. Requires the Qwen Code CLI (Node.js 22+) running qwen serve on your computer. Not sure yet? A built-in Demo shows a complete session offline, no server needed. AgentCmd is an independent client. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Alibaba or the Qwen team.
