Orbiter Dev is a mobile air traffic controller for developers working with single or multiple AI coding agents and IDEs. When an agent wants to run a command, change files, or perform a sensitive action, Orbiter Dev helps you review the request from anywhere using your iPhone or iPad before work continues. It is built for developers who want faster agent workflows without losing human control over risky actions. Key features: - Review approval events from your phone or tablet - Inspect action details, risk level, workspace, and agent source - Approve or reject requests with a clear audit trail - Use Face ID secure action for sensitive approval decisions - Tune Risk Rules to suit your appetite or reduce routine approval noise - View recent approvals & details and actions logged - Pair supported desktop coding environments and agent integrations - Manage & restore Pro subscriptions with StoreKit across devices Orbiter Dev is designed as a companion app for modern developer workflows. It does not replace code review, testing, backups, access control, or deployment safeguards. You remain responsible for reviewing agent actions before allowing them to pursue or block work. Free includes a limited approval workflow. Pro unlocks advanced approval controls for professional use, including unlimited approvals, Face ID approval gates, Risk Rules, and Priority Sync.

Cmdora

Cmdora turns your iPhone into a remote control for your Mac development environment. Run AI coding tasks, trigger builds, tail logs, and approve changes without opening your laptop. Built for iOS developers and engineers who want a compact control surface for their projects, terminal commands, and automation when they are away from the desk. Key capabilities: - Run AI coding tasks (Codex CLI) - the agent proposes changes, nothing is applied without your explicit approval - Get push notifications when a task finishes, fails, or needs your approval - Trigger build and automation tasks - Stream task logs and status updates - Keep your Mac awake while you work - and get notified when it goes on battery - Manage secure remote connections and project workspaces - Keep detailed errors visible when something fails AI tasks require the Codex CLI installed on your Mac. Terminal, builds, and everything else work without it. Cmdora works with a companion coordinator and secure remote runtime. The runtime executes the shell commands and automation scripts you configure on your own development machine. Add the server URL, remote id, and access token in the app to connect your iPhone to your environment.
