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

About

Ateam Go

Features
Read full description

Ateam Go puts your AI coding agents in your pocket. Run coding agents on your own machine, then check in, start new work, and unblock them from your phone — a live board where every task is an agent working in a real terminal. WHAT YOU CAN DO • See every task at a glance: Needs You, In Progress, Review, Backlog, Done • Start a task with a prompt and pick the agent (Claude Code, Codex) • Watch the agent work in a live terminal — reading, editing, running tests in real time • Step in when it needs you: answer a question, approve a step, or send a nudge • Open a preview of a dev server running on your machine, right in your browser PRIVATE BY DESIGN Ateam Go connects to the ateam server on your own computer over Tailscale. WireGuard is the encryption and the auth boundary, so nothing is exposed to the public internet — your repos, your keys, and the agents all stay on your machine. The phone is just a secure window into it. JUST LOOKING? Tap "Try the demo" to explore the whole experience with sample data — no machine, no setup required. REQUIREMENTS Ateam Go is a companion to the Ateam desktop app. You'll need a computer (macOS or Linux) running the ateam server, with Tailscale on both your computer and your phone.
