amux vs Zedra

Keep your AI coding agents running while you're away from your desk. amux is the remote control for your AI engineering fleet. Monitor live Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini sessions, approve pending actions, inspect terminal output, coordinate work across agents, and recover from problems directly from your iPhone. Think of it like GitHub Mobile for AI agents: the work happens on your laptop or server, amux puts the control panel in your pocket. WHAT YOU CAN DO FROM YOUR PHONE - Check overnight runs before getting out of bed - Approve permission prompts before agents stall - See exactly why an agent stopped (peek into live terminal output) - Assign a new task to an idle session - Send a steering instruction to redirect an agent mid-run - Monitor your whole fleet at once: status, active tasks, token usage - Manage the kanban board: see what's done, doing, and stuck - Keep coding while traveling BRING YOUR OWN SERVER amux is open source. Run the single-file Python server on your Mac, Linux box, or cloud VM, then connect this app over Tailscale, your LAN, or amux Cloud. Your code and agents never leave your infrastructure. BUILT FOR PARALLEL WORK Instead of babysitting one AI assistant, run a whole fleet. One agent per feature, per bug, per module, all supervised from a single dashboard. Self-healing keeps sessions alive: amux auto-compacts context, restarts on corruption, unblocks stuck prompts, and handles rate limits fleet-wide so your agents keep shipping overnight. TWO ACCESS MODES Native iOS app (this app): SwiftUI with optimized touch targets and full peek panel. Connects to your amux server over Wi-Fi, Tailscale, or the amux cloud tunnel. Progressive Web App: Open your amux dashboard URL in Safari and install to home screen for a full-screen experience without the App Store. REQUIREMENTS - amux server running on Mac or Linux (free, open source: github.com/mixpeek/amux) - Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, or Gemini CLI installed on your server - Wi-Fi, Tailscale, or amux tunnel for remote access Learn more at amux.io

Your coding agents run on your own machine. Zedra puts them in your pocket. Start a task on your laptop, walk away, and keep working from your phone. Zedra connects straight to your development machine, so you can watch agents work, answer their questions, review the diff, and start the next task from anywhere. WORKS WITH THE AGENTS YOU ALREADY USE Claude Code, Codex, opencode, and any other CLI agent or shell command. Zedra runs a real terminal, not a chat mirror, so nothing about your setup has to change. RUN A SWARM, NOT A SESSION Most work is several agents at once. Zedra shows every session on one screen with live status, so you can see which agent is thinking, which one finished, and which one is blocked waiting on you. NEVER MISS AN APPROVAL Agents stop and ask before they touch anything important. Zedra sends a push notification the moment one needs you, so a waiting agent is never a surprise you find twenty minutes later. A REAL TERMINAL Full terminal emulation with color, mouse reporting, and TUI support. A keyboard row built for code gives you arrows, tab, escape, and control without fighting the on-screen keyboard. Paste screenshots straight into a prompt. READ THE DIFF BEFORE YOU MERGE Syntax-highlighted diffs, file trees, and git status. Select code in the editor or a file preview and send it straight to an agent with Add to Chat, without switching apps. CONNECTS DIRECTLY, NOT THROUGH US Pair by scanning a QR code once. Zedra builds an encrypted peer-to-peer connection between your phone and your machine, and falls back to a relay only when your network blocks a direct route. Relays forward encrypted packets they cannot read, so Zedra never sees your code. Agents still talk to whichever provider you configured them with. OPEN HOST The host daemon is open source and runs on macOS and Linux. Install it with one command, keep it running in the background, and pair as many devices as you want. Requires a Mac or Linux machine running the Zedra host.
