Take the power of your local AI dev stack everywhere. OpenMono is the official mobile companion for OpenMonoAgent.ai—the open-source, terminal-native coding agent that you own, not rent. Why OpenMono? OpenMono is built on the belief that AI should be infrastructure sitting on your desk, serving your code, and answering only to you. This app enables "Dual-Box" mode: run heavy inference on your home GPU rig (RTX 3090/4090/5090) and control the agentic workflow securely from your iPhone. Key Features: • Dual-Box Connectivity: Seamlessly bridge the gap between your mobile device and your local GPU infrastructure. Works behind any NAT/CGNAT via our secure outbound-only relay. • Unlimited Tokens, Zero Cost: Stop watching the meter. Since the model runs on your hardware, your prompts are free, unlimited, and private forever. • Agentic Code Execution: OpenMono doesn’t just suggest code; it reasons. Perform multi-file refactors, architectural analysis, and automated testing from a mobile-optimized terminal. • Built for .NET Developers: Deep integration with Roslyn allows the agent to understand type hierarchies, call graphs, and cross-assembly references with compiler-level accuracy. • Docker-Native Sandboxing: Every destructive operation is gated. Your code is bind-mounted into a container, ensuring the agent remains isolated and secure. • MCP & Tooling Support: Access 20+ built-in tools and extend your agent’s capabilities via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Infrastructure Highlights: • Local-first, always. No one else sees your code. • Powered by C#/.NET. • Supports high-performance LLMs (Qwen, Llama, etc.) optimized for your specific hardware.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Remodex holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remodex has 34 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Remodex's written reviews are positive against 100% of OpenMono's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
