About

Pathrule

Pathrule is the Context Layer for AI coding, now on your phone. The Pathrule iOS app brings your AI coding workspace wherever you are. Start new chats, create AI Tasks, monitor running AI agents, review progress in real time, mirror the latest designs from Pathrule Studio, and jump back into conversations from anywhere, while your source code stays securely on your Mac. Pathrule does not replace your AI coding assistant. It makes the ones you already use smarter by delivering the right context at the right time. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Continue AI coding from anywhere. Start new conversations, reply to existing sessions, and stay connected to your AI agents without being at your desk. • Create AI Tasks. Turn ideas into structured plans, organize work with Kanban boards, and launch AI-powered tasks remotely from your iPhone. • Mirror your latest designs. Designs created in Pathrule Studio automatically appear on your iPhone, making it easy to review screens and share progress wherever you are. • Watch every step live. Follow your agents as they think, plan, edit files, and complete tasks in real time. • Use the AI tools you already pay for. Pathrule works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, and more. No additional AI subscription required. • Deliver only the context that matters. Pathrule automatically injects path-scoped memories, rules, and skills before the first tool call, helping agents stay focused while reducing unnecessary tokens. Based on publicly shared benchmarks, projects can use up to 90% fewer input tokens.* • Explore your team's Context Layer. Browse the memories, rules, and skills attached to every repository path exactly as your AI agents receive them. • Trigger reusable skills. Launch predefined workflows, checklists, and procedures directly from the composer whenever you need them. THE CONTEXT LAYER AI coding is not a prompt problem. It is a context problem. Pathrule creates a shared Context Layer for your team by routing the right knowledge to the right AI agent at exactly the right time. Instead of sending massive instructions with every request, Pathrule delivers only the knowledge relevant to the files being worked on. Every workspace is built from three simple primitives: • Memory: Capture decisions, architecture notes, incidents, and project knowledge in lightweight Markdown. • Rule: Define scoped constraints your AI assistants must follow for specific files or directories. • Skill: Create reusable workflows and procedures that agents can invoke whenever they are needed. One knowledge layer for every AI coding assistant. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your privacy comes first. Every connection between your iPhone and Mac is end-to-end encrypted, and the encryption keys never leave your devices. Your source code remains on your own machine. Pathrule only synchronizes your team's knowledge and securely streams your live AI sessions. REQUIREMENTS Pathrule for iOS is the companion app for Pathrule Studio on macOS. Install Pathrule Studio on your Mac, sign in with the same account, and instantly access your workspaces, AI agents, live coding sessions, AI Tasks, and mirrored designs from anywhere. Download Pathrule Studio at pathrule.io. Token savings vary by project and usage. Figures are based on publicly shared benchmark results. --- Privacy Policy: https://www.pathrule.io/privacy-policy Terms of Service: https://www.pathrule.io/terms-of-service
