Sesori is the remote control for the AI coding agents running on your own computer. Start a task at your desk, then follow it, answer it and steer it from your iPhone. Your code stays on your machine. Works with OpenCode, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, Pi, OMP, Hermes, DeepSeek and Grok Build. Sesori connects to the agents you already use; it is not affiliated with or endorsed by their makers. FROM YOUR PHONE • See every project and session on your computer, and run several sessions at once • Start a session, pick the agent and model, and give it its own Git worktree • Get a push notification when an agent finishes, asks a question or needs approval • Approve or reject permission requests where the agent supports them • Queue a follow-up while a turn is running, or stop it • Hold the mic and speak your prompt, then check the transcript before you send it • Attach images and use the agent's own slash commands and skills • Review the local Git diff, branch and pull request status PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your repository, toolchain and coding agent never move to a cloud workspace. The Sesori Bridge runs next to them on your computer and connects to your phone through a relay. Session traffic is end-to-end encrypted (X25519 key exchange, XChaCha20-Poly1305), so the relay passes ciphertext, not your code, prompts or AI responses. Voice transcription and notification previews use a separate, documented data path. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install Sesori Desktop on macOS or Linux and sign in. It runs the Bridge for you. On a server, over SSH or on Windows, run the headless Bridge CLI instead. 2. Sign in to this app with the same GitHub, Google, Apple or email account. 3. Your projects appear on your phone. Pick one and keep working. Not a mobile IDE and not a cloud sandbox: your agent runs where it always does, with your tools, files and settings. Your agent and model provider keep their own plans and pricing. Sesori is free. Setup guides and the security model: sesori.com and docs.sesori.com.

About

Pi Relay

Read full description

Pi Relay is a companion iPhone app for the Pi coding agent. It lets you connect securely to your own Pi remote-control server, browse active projects and sessions, and continue conversations from your phone. Pairing is simple: install the Pi remote-control extension on the machine running Pi, open the pairing QR code, and scan it with Pi Relay. Once paired, you can switch between remotes, view project sessions, read conversation history, send new prompts, abort running work, and request context compaction with /compact. Pi Relay is designed for users who already run Pi on their own computer or development environment and want a lightweight mobile companion for monitoring and continuing work away from the desktop. Key features: - QR-code pairing with your Pi remote-control server - Remote list with quick switching and unpairing - Project and session browsing - Conversation view with selectable and copyable messages - Runtime status and context usage display - Prompt sending, abort support, and /compact support - Live session updates while the app is active Pi Relay requires a running Pi remote-control extension/server. The extension is available at: https://github.com/zerray/pi-remote-control
