MOBaiLE keeps your own computer within reach when you are away from the keyboard. Pair iPhone with a Mac or Linux backend you control, send a prompt by text or voice, and watch progress stream back in a live thread. Your host keeps the repo, shell, credentials, files, and network access. The phone stays focused on capture, review, follow-up, and recovery. Use MOBaiLE to: - Start a coding-agent run, repo check, or shell command from iPhone - Follow live progress, changed files, verification, warnings, artifacts, and next actions - Talk through quick changes with voice mode and auto-send after silence - Attach context files, browse the host workspace, and inspect returned artifacts - Keep separate workspace threads for projects, follow-ups, and experiments - Review connection, executor, profile instructions, memory, and trust settings clearly MOBaiLE is not a cloud IDE and does not run code on iPhone. It sends prompts, audio, attachments, and run metadata to the backend you choose to pair. The paired Mac or Linux machine does the execution.
