RemoteIDE vs Helmrig Agents

Run your coding workflow from iPhone and iPad. Remote IDE lets you send prompts from mobile and execute them on your paired Mac companion app inside your real project workspace, with responses synced in real time. Remote IDE supports Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex through your own local or self hosted setup, including Tailscale. Your prompts run through your configured tools and repository context on your machine. Features - Unlimited AI prompts - no daily caps - Code from anywhere (Tailscale supported) - Multi-Agent mode - run Cursor + Claude + Codex in parallel - Full chat history sync across devices - Quick Prompts with custom templates - Priority live bridge streaming - Voice input - dictate prompts hands-free - Git operations - stash, branch, push from your phone Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Cursor, Anthropic, OpenAI, or any related products including Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex.

Helmrig is a remote development client for iPhone. It pairs with helmrig-server running on your own laptop and gives you the AI coding agents, terminal, and filesystem of that machine — over an end-to-end encrypted tunnel. FEATURES • AI coding agents — run Claude Code or Codex on your laptop. Tell the agent what to do in plain language; it reads files, runs commands, and edits code on your machine. The app shows the output, diffs of any proposed changes, and approval prompts before anything is applied. You bring your own subscription or API keys; Helmrig doesn't sell or proxy AI access. • Attach files — pull any file from your laptop into the agent conversation in one tap, so the agent has exactly the context it needs. • Terminal — full PTY shell on your laptop with ANSI colors and resize. Use whatever you've installed: bash, zsh, fish, tmux, vim, nano, htop. • Files — browse and view the laptop filesystem with syntax highlighting for common languages. • Multi-project — switch between active projects in one tap; each project keeps its own terminal session and AI thread. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install the server on your laptop: npx helmrig@latest 2. Open Helmrig on iPhone, scan the QR code shown in the server. 3. The pairing key is generated locally on your devices and never leaves them. After pairing, phone and laptop talk directly over LAN or NAT-traversal when possible. When direct connection fails, the encrypted tunnel falls back through one of our regional relays. Relays forward opaque ciphertext only — they cannot decrypt anything. REQUIREMENTS • Laptop: macOS or Linux with Node.js 20+ • iPhone: iOS 17+ PRIVACY No third-party SDKs. No analytics. No crash reporting. Helmrig servers never see code, files, terminal output, or AI conversations.
