OpenVide vs RemoteX

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

RemoteX is a local-first AI workspace for infrastructure operations. Connect SSH Servers, Kubernetes clusters, and Databases, then interact with them in plain English. Ask: • "why is production slow?" • "show failing pods" • "what changed recently?" • "explain this Postgres query" • "check disk usage across all servers" RemoteX can inspect infrastructure, read logs, query databases, analyze files, and propose actions — while keeping you in control through approval-based execution and Face ID protection. There is no RemoteX backend between you and your infrastructure. Conversations, servers, and chat history sync end-to-end encrypted across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac through your own iCloud. Apple sees nothing but a blob — only your devices hold the key. WHAT YOU CAN CONNECT • SSH servers • Kubernetes clusters via kubeconfig • PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and Redis • Private infrastructure through SSH bastions/tunnels WHAT IT DOES • Diagnose infrastructure in plain English • Chat with multiple servers and environments at once • Read pod logs and inspect Kubernetes resources • Run read-only database queries with safety limits • Explain SQL queries and query plans • Browse and manage remote files • Attach PDFs, spreadsheets, logs, code, JSON, YAML, and documents directly into AI chat • Generate summaries and operational insights instead of walls of terminal output • One-tap operational recipes and reusable playbooks • Background monitoring with notifications • Full-text conversation search • Voice input support • Multiple chats per environment or project • Continue conversations across iPhone, iPad, and Mac — pick up on your phone what you started on your Mac SAFETY & CONTROL • Every state-changing action requires approval • Face ID / Touch ID protection for sensitive operations • Clear target routing when actions go through bastion hosts • SSH host-key pinning with algorithm validation • Read-only query protections for databases • Row caps and timeout limits for AI-generated queries ACROSS YOUR DEVICES • End-to-end encrypted sync between iPhone, iPad, and Mac via your own iCloud • A passphrase you set is the key — Apple and RemoteX cannot decrypt your data • No central server, no account — sync runs entirely between your devices • Open a chat on iPhone, continue on Mac; add a server on Mac, see it on iPhone LOCAL-FIRST SECURITY • SSH credentials, API keys, kubeconfigs, and database credentials stay on your device • No RemoteX-managed infrastructure proxy • Optional iCloud sync is end-to-end encrypted with a passphrase only you know — your data is unreadable to Apple, RemoteX, and anyone in between • Bring your own AI provider: • Anthropic • OpenAI • Google Gemini • Commands and infrastructure context are sent directly to the AI provider you choose • Optional crash reporting via Sentry (disabled by default) BUILT FOR • DevOps engineers • Platform teams • Solo founders running infrastructure • SREs and on-call engineers • Developers managing production systems PRO FEATURES RemoteX is free for one server. Upgrade for: • Unlimited infrastructure connections • Background monitoring and alerts • Extended monitoring history • Custom playbooks and recipes • Advanced search REQUIREMENTS • SSH access to your infrastructure • API key from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google AI Studio • iPhone with Face ID or Touch ID Terms of Use: https://remotex.dev/terms Privacy Policy: https://remotex.dev/privacy
