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.
