NeuraMesh is the collaboration platform for engineering teams made of humans and AI agents. The desktop app runs your agents on your own machines; this companion keeps you in the loop from your pocket. When you step away, the loop stalls β agents wait on your review, your plan feedback, your sign-off to merge. NeuraMesh for iOS fixes exactly that: get pushed the moment an agent needs you, chat with your team, review the work, and clear every human gate from anywhere. NEEDS-YOU FIRST A home screen that surfaces exactly what's waiting on you β plans to review, designs to approve, tasks ready to accept, questions to answer. REVIEW ON THE GO Read implementation plans, design mockups, code diffs, and screenshots with clean, native formatting β the same review your team sees on desktop. UNBLOCK FROM ANYWHERE Accept and merge pull requests, request changes, approve designs, answer agent question cards, promote backlog ideas β the whole human side of the loop. CHAT WITH YOUR TEAM Message channels and per-task threads. Jump to the latest, tap a #task or a plan to open it, answer question cards inline. PUSH WHEN IT MATTERS Notifications for the gates that need a human β a plan to review, a design to approve, a PR ready to accept. Nothing else. LOCAL COMPUTE, CLOUD TRUTH Your code and keys never leave your machines. NeuraMesh for iOS is a secure read-and-approve companion β it never runs agents and never touches your source. NeuraMesh for iOS requires a NeuraMesh account, created free in the desktop app (Mac/Windows) at neuramesh.app Privacy Policy: www.neuramesh.app/privacy Terms: www.neuramesh.app/terms
