OpenLens vs OpenVide

OpenLens is a fast, focused iPhone client for OpenCode. Run OpenCode on your computer, then continue the same AI coding session from your phone. Use OpenLens to monitor progress, reply quickly, and stay in control when you are away from your desk. What you can do with OpenLens: - Connect instantly to nearby OpenCode servers with Bonjour/mDNS discovery - Save multiple server connections and reconnect automatically - Chat in real time with streaming responses - View and manage sessions, including creating and deleting sessions - Switch AI providers and models directly from the app - Review agent activity steps while work is in progress - Respond to permission prompts and interactive questions from the server - See live progress on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with Live Activities Built for real workflows: - One session across terminal, web, and iPhone - Reliable reconnect behavior when network conditions change - Optional password-protected server access

Open Vide lets you control AI coding assistants on your remote servers directly from your mobile device. Connect to any machine over SSH and run Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, or Google Gemini CLI — with live streaming output, multi-turn conversations, and persistent sessions that survive disconnections. Features: - Connect to remote hosts via SSH (password or key-based auth) - Run Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Google Gemini CLI sessions - Stream AI output in real-time with a chat-like interface - Resume multi-turn conversations across reconnections - Sessions persist on the remote host — nothing is lost if you disconnect - Built-in terminal for running commands on your hosts - Browse and view files on remote machines - Push notifications when sessions complete - Credentials stored securely on-device Open Vide uses a lightweight daemon on each remote machine to relay commands and capture output. No open ports or cloud accounts required — everything runs over SSH. Open source: https://github.com/open-vide/openvide
