Remote VibeCode vs Clive

RemoteVibeCode is an iPhone and iPad app for working with OpenAI Codex on a remote machine over SSH. Connect to your Linux, macOS, or Windows development machine, choose a project workspace, then start or resume Codex sessions from a focused mobile interface. You can type prompts, use iPhone voice-to-text, review Codex output, answer follow-up questions, queue additional prompts, and keep working against your remote codebase while away from your desk. RemoteVibeCode is designed for developers who already run Codex on a remote system and want a practical mobile client for real coding workflows. Depending on your selected Codex approval and permission mode, Codex can inspect files, make code changes, and run commands on the remote host. Features: - Connect to remote development machines over SSH - Manage multiple remote connections with connection tabs - Browse remote directories and select project workspaces - Start new Codex sessions or resume existing ones - Refresh available Codex models from the connected remote CLI - Choose model and execution profile per session - Type prompts or use iPhone voice-to-text - Queue follow-up prompts while Codex is still working - Review conversation history, final responses, and session output - See active work and unread result indicators across tabs - Inspect detached/background job status where supported - Export or share session transcripts - Save server, SSH key, and session settings for faster reconnects - Get setup guidance for Codex install, login, and updates Requirements: - A remote system accessible over SSH - Codex installed on that remote system - Codex signed in with a ChatGPT or OpenAI account - PowerShell, WSL, or another supported shell for Windows SSH targets

Clive is an SSH and Mosh terminal for iPhone and iPad that keeps your place on the server. Phones are hostile to terminals. You switch apps to copy a code, the screen locks, you walk out of Wi‑Fi, and the connection is gone with your output and the job you were watching. Clive keeps the session on the server and brings you straight back to it. WHY SESSIONS THAT SURVIVE CHANGE EVERYTHING • Walk away. Start a coding agent, a build or a training run, pocket the phone, and check on it from the train. • Nothing is lost. Mosh rides out locks, app switches and network changes without reconnecting. tmux keeps your shell and scrollback alive on the server, so even a session you closed days ago is still there. • Pick up where you left off. Clive lists the sessions it left on each server. Tap one to resume it, or end the ones you are done with. • No tricks. No keep-alive hacks and no battery drain. The right protocols, used properly, with automatic reconnect when the network returns. MADE FOR AGENTIC CODING • Claude Code, Codex and any other terminal agent run as they do on your desktop, in full colour. • A keyboard built for the terminal: Esc, Tab, Ctrl, arrows and a joystick-style key bar, plus full hardware-keyboard support. • Several connections at once, even to the same server. A REAL TERMINAL • xterm-256color with true colour, so TUIs, games and editors look as they should. • Ten themes, or let Clive match its own chrome to the colours of the program on screen. (Themes and custom fonts are Clive Pro) • Adjustable scrollback and two-finger scrolling that reaches the program itself. YOUR FILES, RIGHT THERE • A built-in SFTP browser with a code editor, syntax highlighting and Markdown rendering. (Clive Pro) • Rename, create folders, delete, or jump straight to a path. Save-conflict warnings keep your draft when the remote file has changed. • Type "open" and a path at any prompt and the file opens in Clive. YOUR KEYS, PROTECTED • Verify each new server's fingerprint; a changed host key blocks the connection until you replace the trust yourself. • Generate Ed25519 keys on the device or import your own. Private keys and passwords stay in the Keychain, behind Face ID if you choose. • Optional iCloud sync shares hosts and eligible secrets through your own iCloud Keychain. Secure Enclave keys never leave their device. CALM BY DESIGN • No account, no ads, no tracking. Your traffic goes only to the servers you add. • One app for iPhone and iPad, with a side-by-side layout on wide screens. CLIVE PRO Clive Pro is a one-time purchase that adds themes, custom fonts, the SFTP browser and the file viewer and editor, after a seven-day full-access trial. Everything else is free: the terminal, SSH, Mosh, tmux, hosts, keys and iCloud sync. No subscription. Pull out your phone. Your session is right where you left it.
