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

About

OSH

Features
Read full description

OSH turns your iPhone into a hardware-backed approver for zero-trust SSH access. Instead of long-lived SSH keys scattered across laptops, your team's gateway issues short-lived SSH certificates only after a human approves each request. OSH is where that approval happens — on a device you carry, protected by Face ID and the Secure Enclave. HOW IT WORKS • Enroll your device by scanning the gateway's QR code. • When someone requests SSH access, OSH shows you who, what, and where. • Approve or deny with Face ID. Your approval is signed by a key that lives only in the Secure Enclave. • The gateway issues a short-lived certificate — no standing keys, no shared secrets. WHY IT'S SECURE • The signing key is generated inside the Secure Enclave and is non-exportable — it can never leave your iPhone. • Every approval requires biometric authentication. • OSH connects only to the gateway you configure. It has no analytics, no trackers, no ads, and no third-party SDKs. FOR TEAMS • Role-aware: signers, admins, and root see the controls appropriate to them. • Review access rules, approval history, and gateway logs from the app. OSH requires a compatible zero-trust SSH gateway to connect to.
