Remote terminal access for AI coding agents. Manage Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Qwen, and OpenClaw sessions from your phone and Apple Watch. • Sending messages to and receiving output from remote AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw)* • Cross agents aduit, review, plan, brainstorm, or discuss • Viewing live terminal output from remote development sessions • Browsing and edit remote project files, uploading files or photos from the device, downloading files from the server • Viewing repository information and file changes (git diffs) • Running and monitoring multiple agents in parallel • Receiving push notifications when agents complete tasks or need attention • Voice input for hands-free interaction • Biometric authentication with Face ID / Touch ID • Multi-server dashboard — manage agents across all your machines • Self-hostable — deploy the open-source server on your own infrastructure IM.codes is a developer tool — not an AI service. A daemon runs on your dev machine and manages terminal sessions through tmux. This app connects via WebSocket for real-time remote access, the same way an SSH client works. AI agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI) are third-party tools that you install and authenticate independently on your own machines. The relay server is fully open source under MIT. Self-host for production use, or try the demo at app.im.codes. Source: github.com/im4codes/imcodes

Read full description

Huppy is the mobile companion for desktop coding agents. It lets you view live sessions, step in when your AI needs a decision, and stay connected to work in progress without staying at your desk. Important: Huppy is a companion app. Install the Huppy CLI on your Mac or computer, then pair your phone with a QR code to connect. Key Features: • View live output from Codex, Claude Code, Gemini, and other supported agents • Approve sensitive actions remotely before a session gets stuck • Send follow-up instructions from your phone when context changes • Push notifications when a session finishes or needs your attention • End-to-end encrypted session flow for work in progress • Works with your existing desktop setup instead of replacing your editor or terminal How It Works: 1. Install the Huppy CLI on your computer 2. Scan a QR code to securely pair your devices 3. Start your coding sessions on desktop as usual 4. Switch between desktop and mobile instantly Perfect for developers who: - Want to monitor long-running tasks on the go - Need fast approval loops when an agent hits a sensitive action - Want their sessions to stay on their own machine - Work from coffee shops, trains, meetings, or anywhere away from the desk Huppy is built for developers who want a calm, reliable mobile control layer for work already running on their own machine. It keeps you close to the sessions that matter while you step away from your desk. Terms of Use (EULA): https://huppy.ai/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://huppy.ai/privacy/
