Read full description

Claudette is a mobile control plane: live context, agent tree, and a real shell on your phone, pointed at your machine over SSH. Free to download — the core product is included: real PTY, context gauge, agent tree, Take the Wheel, and system voice (Siri / device TTS). Not a chatbot wrapper: your machine, your tmux, your prompt. No subscription. No in-app purchase required. Take the Wheel When you need to intervene — interactive rebase, stuck service, one-off command only you should run — drop into the live shell (same session, same working tree), then hand control back. Works over direct SSH on your own network. Connect with SSH • Direct SSH to any server or Mac — free • Cloud sessions: optional provider login only if you want your own billing (SSH to your Mac needs none) Full terminal, in your pocket Extended keyboard, multi-tab tmux that survives backgrounding, SFTP, Bonjour, Wake-on-LAN. Built for developers on the move • Context gauge — tokens, cost, and warnings • Agent tree — live subagent hierarchy • Real PTY — not chat pretending to be a terminal • Voice input + spoken summaries (system / Siri TTS) • Full command surface of the CLI agent you already run Compatibility Claudette is a general-purpose SSH terminal. It works with the command-line AI coding agents you install yourself, including Anthropic's Claude Code CLI. Claudette is an independent product from Olorin. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or otherwise associated with Anthropic PBC. "Claude" and "Claude Code" are trademarks of Anthropic PBC and are used here only to describe compatibility. Whether you're at your desk or on a walk, your AI coding partner — and the control plane — is with you.
