Maude runs AI coding agents on a server you own — around the clock — and puts them in your pocket. Start a task from your phone, close the app, and come back to finished work, a question, or a command waiting for your approval. It works with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Grok Build and Antigravity. Pick the agent for each session, and hand a task from one to another when you want a second opinion — the next agent gets the plan, the files touched and the git state. NOTHING TO INSTALL BY HAND Add any Linux or macOS machine you can reach over SSH — a VPS, a home server, a Mac mini — by typing its address, pasting an ssh command, or scanning a setup code. Maude deploys its own small daemon, installs each agent at a tested version, and keeps everything up to date. APPROVE FROM ANYWHERE • An inbox for everything that needs you: permission prompts, questions, finished work and failures • Push notifications with Allow and Deny — answer a permission prompt in one tap • Sessions keep running on your server when the app is closed A REAL WORKSPACE, ONE TAB AWAY • Chat with live tool calls, diffs and plans • Files: browse the project and read any file • Git: review changes hunk by hunk, commit, push and open a pull request • Terminal: a full shell on the same server • iPad and tablet layout with sessions, chat and git side by side FAST AND PRIVATE • Your code stays on your server — Maude is the remote control • Connects in under a second through an end-to-end encrypted relay, even behind a firewall or on a private network; SSH is the fallback • SSH keys and passwords stay in your device's secure storage • Sign in to each agent with the account you already have — no API keys resold, no usage metered on top EVERY SESSION, YOUR WAY • Model, effort and permission mode per session — from asking before every command to letting the agent run • Several sessions at once, across several servers • Git worktrees, attachments, /compact and /goal where the agent supports them A Maude subscription unlocks the app (7 days free on the annual plan). Each agent needs its own account or API key with its provider. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.

Ask AI anything: your phone keeps the secret. EnigmaAI puts ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek in one private app. You don't need an account, an email, or a phone number. Open it and start typing. WHY PRIVATE AI MATTERS You ask AI about your health, your money, your contracts, your relationships. On most AI apps, every one of those questions is tied to an account in your name and may be used to train future models. On EnigmaAI, your chats stay on your device and aren't tied to an account. YOUR PERSONAL DETAILS NEVER LEAVE YOUR PHONE • Email addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers, social security numbers, and IPv4 addresses are replaced with random stand-ins on your device before a message is sent • Photos are stripped of EXIF metadata and GPS location • Blind Routing removes your IP address before a request ever reaches an AI provider NO ACCOUNT NEEDED, NO LOGS, NO CLOUD • Use the free tier or Pro without an account • Chats are encrypted with keys protected by the Secure Enclave and stored only on your device • No cloud sync and no backups on our servers • No conversation logs: message content is never recorded • Our servers process requests in memory only, so message content is never written to disk • App Store privacy label: Data Not Collected THE TOP AI MODELS IN ONE APP • ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), Grok (xAI), and DeepSeek: switch anytime, even mid-conversation • Web search for up-to-date answers • Send a photo and ask about it • Set the thinking effort and see the model's reasoning • Private image generation with GPT Image and Grok Imagine, saved to an encrypted vault on your device LEAVE NO TRACE • Stealth Mode: the chat lives only in memory and disappears when you close the app • Disappearing Chats: gone 24 hours after the last message • App Lock with Face ID or Touch ID • One tap wipes everything, instantly and permanently BUILT FOR EVERYDAY USE • Folders with their own default instructions • Search your chats by what was said, not just by title • Edit a sent message and send it again • On-device voice dictation • iPhone, iPad, and Mac with Apple silicon FREE TO START Free messages refill every day. Pro unlocks premium models and much higher limits for every model, web search, and image generation. Neither needs an account. Pro renews automatically until you cancel in your Apple Account settings. Built for the paranoid and the practical. Download EnigmaAI and ask what you've never dared to type. EnigmaAI is an independent app and is not affiliated with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, or DeepSeek. The AI provider you pick processes your prompts, with those personal details already replaced, to generate a reply.
