About

MOBaiLE

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.

About

Semaphore Remote

Features
Read full description

Semaphore Remote is an app for users who manage automation with Semaphore UI and need quick access to their tasks from a mobile device. Connect directly to your Semaphore server using a personal API token, browse projects and templates, launch new executions, monitor running tasks, and read raw task output when something needs attention. The app is designed for DevOps workflows where speed and simplicity matter. You can open a project, review available templates, start a run, force an execution when needed, check recent tasks, follow active jobs, and quickly jump to fatal messages, errors, warnings, or the last line of a log. Key features: • Connect to Semaphore UI using a personal API token • Browse projects, templates, and task history • Launch tasks from templates • Force task runs when needed • Monitor running, waiting, and pending tasks • Receive local notifications when monitored tasks finish • Read raw task output with line numbers • Search inside logs • Jump quickly to fatal, error, warning, or last-line matches • Share task logs as text files • Supports English and Italian Semaphore Remote does not require an external account and does not use tracking, analytics, or advertising. The app communicates only with the Semaphore server configured by the user. The server URL and API token are stored locally on the device and used only to authenticate requests to your Semaphore UI instance. Note: Semaphore Remote is intended as a mobile companion tool for quick checks and interventions. Local notifications depend on system background behavior and are not a replacement for server-side alerting.
