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
