MOBaiLE

Features
Read full description

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.

Remote terminal access for AI coding agents. Manage Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Qwen, and OpenClaw sessions from your phone and Apple Watch. • Sending messages to and receiving output from remote AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw)* • Cross agents aduit, review, plan, brainstorm, or discuss • Viewing live terminal output from remote development sessions • Browsing and edit remote project files, uploading files or photos from the device, downloading files from the server • Viewing repository information and file changes (git diffs) • Running and monitoring multiple agents in parallel • Receiving push notifications when agents complete tasks or need attention • Voice input for hands-free interaction • Biometric authentication with Face ID / Touch ID • Multi-server dashboard — manage agents across all your machines • Self-hostable — deploy the open-source server on your own infrastructure IM.codes is a developer tool — not an AI service. A daemon runs on your dev machine and manages terminal sessions through tmux. This app connects via WebSocket for real-time remote access, the same way an SSH client works. AI agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI) are third-party tools that you install and authenticate independently on your own machines. The relay server is fully open source under MIT. Self-host for production use, or try the demo at app.im.codes. Source: github.com/im4codes/imcodes
