Mobaide
Read full descriptionHide full description
Mobaide turns your phone into a remote control for AI coding agents and terminals running on your own computer ā free, with no public IP required. Start, monitor, and steer Claude Code, Codex CLI, Antigravity CLI, or your own custom AI agents ā each with its own launch command and parameters ā on your Windows, macOS, or Linux machine from anywhere, with full real-time terminal streaming. Step away from your desk without losing control of your work. HOW IT WORKS Install a small agent on your computer and pair it by scanning a QR code in the app. That's it. Your phone connects through a secure relay and the agent reaches out ā so you never have to expose your machine to the internet. WHY MOBAIDE ⢠Free. No subscription, no paywalled features. ⢠No public or static IP, port forwarding, or VPN. Unlike SSH apps, your computer dials out to the relay, so it works behind any router, NAT, or firewall ā on mobile data or any Wi-Fi. ⢠Effortless setup. One-line install on the computer, then scan a QR to pair. No tokens to copy and no commands to type on your phone. ⢠Built for AI agents, not just shells. First-class Claude Code, Codex CLI, Antigravity CLI support, custom agent types you define yourself, plus raw terminal (cmd.exe / bash) sessions. FEATURES ⢠Custom AI agents ā define your own agent types with a custom launch command and parameters, then start and manage them right alongside Claude Code and Codex. ⢠Remote terminal ā full two-way, real-time session I/O. ⢠Multi-session, isolated worktrees ā run and switch between up to 32 sessions at once, each launched in its own dedicated Git worktree so parallel work never collides. ⢠Terminal sessions ā open a raw cmd.exe (Windows) or bash (macOS/Linux) shell in any project folder. ⢠Custom path ā launch in any folder, with quick-pick recent paths. ⢠Custom shortcuts ā a convenient editor for building your own quick-tap command shortcuts per session type, synced across devices. ⢠Auto Scan ā automatically pick up issues from your tracker (Linear today), create a git worktree, and launch Claude to work on them. ⢠Git management ā browse branches and worktrees, multi-select, batch-delete with undo. ⢠Prompt templates ā save and reuse your favorite prompts; they sync across devices. ⢠Reliable reconnect ā 10,000-line scrollback per session, so a dropped network never loses output. ⢠Secure ā end-to-end auth over encrypted WebSockets (WSS). ⢠Manage devices ā see every paired install and revoke access anytime. REQUIREMENTS ⢠A Windows, macOS, or Linux computer to run the free Mobaide agent.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mobaide at none against API Requester's 2. Mobaide also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). API Requester's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
