About

Zedra

Read full description

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.

About

OK Remote

Features
Read full description

OK Remote lets you remotely control coding agents running on your computer. Agents run where your code already lives โ€” your files, your shell, your tools, your keys โ€” and your phone drives it from anywhere. Now you can do real work without being shackled to your desk! Not an SSH client. It's a fully polished, feature-rich app for agentic work while you're away from the keyboard: rich chat with markdown rendering, slash commands, model configuration, a file browser, a code editor, and a git diff viewer. Minimalism and extensibility. Under the hood it runs Pi, the holy grail of agent harnesses. Pi makes no unwanted assumptions for you, and you can extend it to do pretty much anything โ€” including whatever any other harness does. Private and fast. Connections between the app and your computer run over Iroh: end-to-end encrypted, and routed along the shortest available path. Bring your own key โ€” your AI provider bills you directly, and we never see the traffic. Change personalities. Edit AGENTS.md from your phone and the agent picks up its new instructions on the next turn. Extend it. Ask the agent to write itself an extension and it gains a new capability, immediately. Do whatever you want. It's your computer: - "Find my latest coding session. Watch it periodically, and let me know when it's done." - "I'm in line at Chipotle and my girlfriend isn't checking her phone, but she's at her desk. Use the say command to ask her to text me what she wants." - "Find and import my /create-pr skill." It's easy to get started: 1. Get this app. 2. Install the ok CLI on your computer: ok.lol/install 3. Sign in with the same email on both. 4. Turn on notifications and configure an AI provider from the app. 5. Open the folder you want to work in, and get going.
